So delicious!
I'm on a diet so I've been looking for healthy but still filling recipes to make. Everyone in my family loved this!
I made a homemade mango chutney because I didn't feel like buying one.
This is what I used:
1 medium apple, diced
1 ripe mango, diced
1/4 large red bell pepper, diced
1/3 large red onion, diced
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 TBS fresh ginger, finely chopped
1 TBS freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 TBS curry powder
1/2 TSP nutmeg
1/2 TSP cinnamon
1/2 TSP salt
And just heat all ingredients over medium/low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, and then put in the refrigerator and store for up to two weeks.
I used whole wheat buns, lettuce, and goat cheese, which went SO well with the turkey burgers.

Amazing curry burgers Rach! These burgers tantalized my taste buds! I couldn't stop talking about how flavorful these burgers were! I used 1/4 tsp ground ginger in place of fresh & I used my frozen cilantro in place of the fresh, which defrosts in minutes, & topped them with cheddar cheese. I'd make these again & again. These will be a regular in my household!
