Healthy Turkey Burgers
These refreshing, flavorful, and savory turkey burgers will be a big hit at your next BBQ gathering – or simply as an easy weeknight meal!
They’re a refreshing, leaner alternative to the standard hamburger. And, this recipe adds curry powder for a unique and delicious flavor. (Not to mention the tasty mint yogurt sauce!)
No grill? No problem – these are great on the stovetop, too.
And a bonus is that the curry turkey burger patties and the yogurt sauce can both be prepped in advance!
Curry Turkey Burger Ingredients
This is a simple meal to throw together. Here are the turkey burger ingredients you’re working with.
For the curry turkey burgers:
- cilantro
- red onion
- ground turkey
- cumin
- curry powder
For the mint yogurt sauce:
- Greek yogurt
- garlic
- lime
- mint
To make the curry turkey burgers, simply mix together the ground turkey, curry powder, cumin, red onion, cilantro, and a little salt, and form into patties.
Then, toss them on the grill or into a skillet, cook about 4 to 5 minutes per side, and that’s that!
For the yogurt sauce, you’ll mix together yogurt, lime juice, mint, and fresh garlic.
If you want the garlic to mellow out a bit, make the sauce in advance. (Just know that the mint won’t be quite as bright color-wise.) You can always make the yogurt sauce ahead of time and just add the chopped mint right before serving to solve that problem!
These curry turkey burgers are delicious with sweet potato fries on the side, especially if they are roasted in the same spices used to make the burgers (cumin and curry powder). I share the sweet potato details in the recipe card “notes” section if you’re into it. (It’s one of my favorite side dishes!)
And speaking of – here’s the full healthy turkey burgers recipe!

These simple and delicious savory burgers can be prepped ahead of time for an easy weeknight meal. Great on the grill or on the stove! The burger patties and yogurt sauce can both be prepped in advance. If you make the sauce in advance, it will help the garlic to mellow out a bit. Add the chopped mint to the sauce at the last minute before serving so it retains its bright green color. For the sweet potato fries: slice into wedges and toss them with pinches of curry powder, cumin, salt and a drizzle of oil, then roasted at 425 degrees F for about 25 minutes.
