Ingredients

4 servings

For the turkey patties

1 lb ground turkey
Chef's tip
Brown it just like ground meat, using the same amount. It's leaner than turkey, so add a little oil to the pan to keep it from sticking.
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil

For the dressing

3 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
¼ tsp ground turmeric
2–3 tbsp water
¼ tsp sea salt

For the salad bowl

6 cups mixed greens or romaine lettuce, roughly torn
1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
1 cup shredded carrots
½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
¼ cup pumpkin seeds

For serving

1 avocado, sliced (optional)
lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, turmeric, grated ginger, cumin, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until the spices are evenly distributed, then divide and shape into 4 equal patties, each about 3/4 inch thick.
2
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the patties and cook undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until the undersides are deep golden brown and release easily from the pan.
