Tamarind-Glazed Turkey Burgers

These tamarind-glazed turkey burgers offer a vibrant alternative to the traditional beef patty, bringing together a clever balance of sweet, tart and spicy flavours. The star of this high-protein dish is the sticky glaze made from tamarind concentrate and honey, which provides a deeply savoury finish that pairs perfectly with the lean turkey mince. A zesty, ginger-infused mayonnaise built directly into the patty ensures every bite remains moist and fragrant.

Perfect for a summer barbecue or a quick midweek meal, these burgers are easy to prepare and can be made ahead of time for stress-free entertaining. Serve them in soft toasted rolls with fresh salad for a substantial, healthy dinner that feels like a treat. If you prefer a milder flavour, simply deseed the jalapeño before mixing it into the turkey.

Ingredients for Tamarind-Glazed Turkey Burgers

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil

  • 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger

  • 120ml tamarind concentrate*

  • 120ml honey

  • 60ml water

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

  • 120ml mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 1 red jalapeño chilli with seeds, minced

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 80g chopped spring onions

  • 1.1kg ground natural turkey

  • 8 4-inch-diameter rolls (such as potato or kaiser), split horizontally

  • 8 large thin red onion slices

  • 8 large 1/3-inch-thick tomato slices

  • 8 lettuce leaves

Heat oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add ginger and sauté 2 minutes. Add tamarind concentrate, honey, and water and bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer until thick enough to coat spoon and reduced to 300ml , stirring often, about 8 minutes. Cool completely (volume will reduce as glaze cools); mix in lime juice.

Do ahead: Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.

Stir mayonnaise, ginger, salt, jalapeño, black pepper, and 4 teaspoons glaze in large bowl to blend; mix in spring onions. Add turkey mince; blend gently (do not pack tightly). Shape mixture into eight 1/2-inch-thick patties. Arrange patties on small baking sheet.

Do ahead: Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover and chill.

Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Grill rolls, cut side down, until golden, about 2 minutes; transfer to work surface. Grill burgers until cooked through and thermometer inserted into centre registers 71°C, about 8 minutes per side. Brush each burger with glaze. Place 1 burger, glazed side down, on each roll bottom; brush each burger with more glaze. Top each with onion, tomato, lettuce, and roll top. Serve, passing remaining glaze separately.

*Sometimes labeled tamarind paste, tamarind concentrate is a dark, seedless paste with a tart-sweet flavour. It's available at Middle Eastern and Indian markets, and at some Asian markets.
