Here's an interesting twist on burgers with some added health benefits from the ginger and turmeric. Follow these links to learn more about the benefits of ginger and turmeric.
You will need:
1lb lean ground beef or ground turkey
one piece of bread, tear into small pieces. I sometimes sub bread crumbs when I have them. It helps the burgers stay stuck together while cooking.
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 tablespoon ground red chili pepper or cayenne
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/4 cup onion grated or finely chopped
1 tablespoon ginger root (if you store your ginger in the freezer, it will grate very easily)
3 cloves garlic minced
Fold above ingredients into meat and grill to your liking.
I suggest serving with low fat cheese, whole wheat bun, mint or cilantro chutney (recipe found here) or a spicy mayo, lettuce, onion and tomato.
