Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb ground turkey thigh meat
4 scallions, finely chopped
1/2 inch piece of fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 lemongrass stalk, outer leaves removed and core finely chopped
1/2 red chile, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 egg, lightly beaten
4 whole-wheat buns, warmed
sea salt and black pepper
4 1/2 cups bite-size kale pieces
finely grated zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon olive oil
sesame seeds, for sprinkling (optional)

Steps:

  • To make the crispy kale, put the kale into a large bowl and toss with the lemon zest, olive oil, and a little sea salt. Arrange in a single layer on 1 or 2 baking sheets.
  • Place in a preheated oven, at 400°F, for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through cooking time, until crunchy and crisp. Sprinkle with a little more salt or some sesame seeds, if desired.
  • Meanwhile, put the turkey into a large bowl with the onions, ginger, garlic, lemongrass, chile, and cilantro. Mix well, then season to taste and stir in the egg.
  • Use your hands to shape the mixture into 4 large balls, then press them firmly into patty shapes. Place under a preheated hot broiler and cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through. Serve in warm whole-wheat buns with crispy kale on the side.
