Ingredients:

1 lb ground turkey
450g
1 tsp coriander leaves
1g
1/4 onion
80g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tsp salt
6g
1/4 tsp black pepper
0.52g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Finely chop the coriander leaves.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
2. Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped coriander leaves, chopped onion, and minced garlic.
- Add the salt and black pepper to the mixture.
3. Blend Thoroughly:
- Use your hands or a spatula to thoroughly mix the ingredients together until well combined.
4. Form the Patties:
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions.
- Shape each portion into a patty, approximately 1-inch thick.
5. Preheat the Grill or Pan:
- If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat.
- If using a skillet or grill pan, heat a small amount of oil over medium-high heat.
6. Cook the Patties:
- Place the patties on the grill or in the heated skillet.
- Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the outside is nicely browned.
7. Serve:
- Once the patties are fully cooked, remove them from the heat.
- Serve the cilantro turkey burgers on buns with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, or a dollop of your favorite sauce.

Tips:

- For extra flavor, let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before forming the patties.

- Make sure your hands are slightly damp when forming the patties to prevent the mixture from sticking.

- Cook the burgers on medium heat to ensure they are cooked through without burning the outsides.

- If you prefer a spicier burger, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or finely chopped jalapeños to the mixture.

- Pair these burgers with a tangy yogurt sauce or guacamole to complement the cilantro flavors.

- For a lower-calorie option, serve the burgers wrapped in lettuce leaves instead of buns.
