🛒 Ingredients

✓ 200g ground turkey breast
✓ 1 tsp garam masala
✓ 1/2 tsp ground cumin
✓ 1/4 tsp amchur (dried mango powder)
✓ 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
✓ 1/2 tsp salt
✓ 2 tsp ghee spray or cooking spray
✓ 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
✓ 2 brioche burger buns, lightly toasted
✓ Pinch of black pepper
✓ 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% fat)
✓ 1/4 cup cucumber, finely diced
✓ 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
✓ 1 tsp lime juice
✓ 1/4 tsp cumin seeds, toasted
✓ Pinch of salt
✓ 1 green chili, minced (optional)
✓ 2 tomato slices

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the raita: Combine Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, cilantro, lime juice, cumin seeds, salt, and green chili in a bowl. Let rest 5 minutes for flavors to meld. Set aside.

2. Season the turkey: In a small bowl, mix garam masala, cumin, amchur, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Divide ground turkey into 2 equal portions and gently incorporate half the spice blend into each, working lightly to avoid compacting the meat.

3. Shape patties loosely: Form each spiced turkey portion into a loose ball about 1.5 inches thick. Do not compress; loose texture keeps patties tender and allows for better crust formation.

4. Caramelize the onions: Heat 1 tsp ghee spray in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced red onions and cook 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden. Transfer to a plate.

5. Smash and sear the patties: Increase heat to medium-high. Spray skillet with 1 tsp ghee spray. Place turkey balls on the hot surface and immediately press flat with a spatula, creating 3/4-inch patties. Do not move for 3–4 minutes to develop a golden-brown crust. Flip and cook another 2–3 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

6. Toast the buns: Lightly spray bun halves with cooking spray and toast in the same skillet (or separately) for 1 minute per side until golden and crispy.

7. Assemble the burger: Spread 2 tbsp raita on the bottom bun. Layer a smashed patty, caramelized onions, tomato slices, and remaining raita. Top with the second bun and serve immediately.
