  • 10 ounces ground turkey
  • 1 or 2 shallots
  • 1 lime
  • 3 or 4 sprigs fresh cilantro
  • 1 serrano (optional)

Make It Leaner
Erase 40 calories and 5 grams of fat from each serving by slathering on only half the sambal mayo. While the avocado provides healthy fats, using only half will cut out an additional 80 calories and 8 grams of fat per serving. What to do with the other half? Make avocado toast for breakfast or lunch the next day, of course.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep the turkey burgers

  • Cut a small corner from the ground turkey packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Peel and finely chop enough shallots to measure ¼ cup.
  • Zest and juice the lime, keeping the zest and juice separate. Set aside the juice for the cucumber-radish salad.
  • Coarsely chop the cilantro.
  • If using the serrano, remove the stem, ribs, and seeds; finely chop the serrano. Wash your hands after handling.
In a medium bowl, combine the ground turkey, shallots, lime zest, cilantro, and as much serrano as you like and season with salt. Using wet hands, form the mixture into two ½-inch-thick patties.

2

Cook the burgers

In a medium frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the patties and cook, turning once, until browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
While the burgers cook, prepare the cucumber-radish salad, lettuce wraps, and toppings.

3

Make the cucumber-radish salad

  • Peel the cucumber, if desired, and trim off the ends. Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise, then crosswise on the diagonal into ¼-inch-thick slices.
  • Trim the ends from the radishes. Cut them in half, then cut the halves into thin half-moons.
  • Strip the mint leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.
In a medium bowl, combine the cucumber, radishes, mint, lime juice, and 2 to 3 teaspoons oil and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt.

4

Prep the lettuce wraps and toppings

  • Trim the root end from the iceberg lettuce. Separate the large leaves for the burgers; save the rest for another use.
  • Cut away the core from the tomato; thinly slice the tomato.
  • Cut the avocado in half. Remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and cut the flesh into ¼-inch-thick slices.

Serve

Transfer the lettuce leaves to individual plates. Top with the tomato slices, burgers, as much sambal mayo as you like, and avocado. Serve with the cucumber-radish salad.
