Instructions

  • Using a cheese grater, grate 1/2 cup of cucumber. Either using your hands, a sieve of fine mesh produce bag, squeeze out as much of the liquid as possible. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl; add the minced turkey, egg, minced garlic, honey, mint, dill, ground mustard seeds, 1/2 of one shallot and 1/4 cup of the grated cucumber. Reserve the remainder of the shallot and cucumber for later.
  • Mix all the ingredients well until completely incorporated.
  • Shape into 4 patties, put on a plate and refrigerate for up to 30 minutes. This will make them so much easier to handle and stay formed when cooking.
  • In the meantime; in a small bowl stir together the yogurt, lemon zest and remainder of the grated cucumber. Set aide.
  • Remove patties from the fridge and place on a grill heated to medium high. Cook each side for 5-6 minutes.
  • During the last minute of cooking, add the Naan bread to the grill.
  • Remove patties and Naan from the grill. When ready to assemble, spread the yogurt mixture on each piece of bread, then top with a turkey patty.
  • Garnish with some crumbled feta, remaining chopped shallots, a handful of greens and top off with a drizzle of olive oil and an extra dollop of yogurt sauce.
