Recipe information
Yield
2 servings
Ingredients
300g (2/3 lb.) ground turkey
4 spring onions, 2 finely chopped, 2 sliced
1 red chile, deseeded and finely chopped, plus extra slices
A small chunk of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 free-range egg yolk
1/4 of a bunch of fresh cilantro, leaves chopped
1 tbsp coconut oil
2 whole wheat pita breads
30g (about 1 cup) watercress
1 tomato, sliced (optional)
Preparation
Step 1
In a bowl, mix the turkey, chopped spring onion, chopped chile, ginger, egg yolk, and most of the cilantro until fully combined, then use your hands to form two burger patties.
Step 2
Heat the coconut oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat until melted. Fry the burgers for 5 minutes on each side until cooked through. Toast the pita and carefully slice open. Stuff with the watercress and place a burger in each. Finish with the sliced chile, remaining cilantro, sliced spring onion, and sliced tomato, if using.
