Turkey & Zucchini Burgers With Green Onion & Cumin
MALYALVAREZ
Description
Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi Jerusalem Cookbook
The creamy sumac sauce served with these burgers is fantastically sharp and will go well with most non-red meats (chicken sofrito, page 190, for example) and also with grilled vegetables and fritters. You can make it in advance, or double the quantity, and keep it refrigerated. After a day the flavours will mellow so you may want to reinvigorate it by adding extra sumac and lemon juice. The burgers are very portable. You can have them as a snack from the fridge and they are also ideal for taking over to friends or in a lunchbox for work.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 1 zucchini (large, coarsely grated, scant 2 cups)
- 3 green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 large egg
- 2 Tbsp. mint (chopped)
- 2 Tbsp. chopped cilantro
- 2 cloves garlic (chopped)
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
- 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 6 1/2 Tbsp. sunflower oil (for searing)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2/3 cup greek yogurt
- 1 tsp. grated lemon zest
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 clove garlic (crushed)
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. sumac
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
Directions
- Make the sour cream sauce by placing all of the sauce ingredients in a bowl and stirring until combined. Chill until ready to use.
- Preheat oven to 425 . In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the meatballs except the sunflower oil. Mix with your hands and then shape into about 18 burger, each weighing about 1 1/2 oz.
- Pour enough sunflower oil into a large frying pan to form a layer about 2 mm thick on the pan bottom. Heat over medium heat until hot, then sear the meatballs in batches on all sides. Cook each batch for about 4 minutes, adding oil as needed, until golden brown.
- Carefully transfer the seared meatballs to baking sheet lined with waxed paper and place in oven for 5 to 7 minutes, or until just cooked through. Serve warm with the sauce spooned over or on the side.
