Ingredients

  • 1 egg white
  • 1/3 cup evaporated skim milk
  • 1/4 cup BAYS® English Muffin crumbs or plain dry bread crumbs
  • 1-1/2 pounds lean ground turkey
  • 1/4 cup snipped fresh cilantro or parsley
  • 1/4 cup golden raisins
  • 3 tablespoons chopped red onion
  • 1 teaspoon crushed coriander seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 cup packed crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 large clove garlic
  • 1 can (15-1/2 ounces) chickpeas, drained
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise
  • 6 BAYS® English Muffins, split and lightly toasted
  • Red leaf lettuce
  • Cucumber slices
  • Cilantro leaves

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together egg white and milk to a light foam. Add bread crumbs, turkey, cilantro, raisins, onion, coriander, cumin, pepper flakes, and turmeric. Gently but thoroughly combine ingredients. Shape mixture into six patties, about 1/2-inch thick. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

  • Prepare Chickpea Mayonnaise: In food processor (or blender) fitted with metal blade, drop garlic through feed tube with machine running. Scrape down slides, and add chickpeas, lemon juice, and mayonnaise. Process until smooth.

  • Coat a heavy non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Preheat over medium-high heat until hot. Add patties and cook 7-9 minutes on each side, until turkey is thoroughly cooked (internal temperature of 165° to 170°F), and juices run clear, turning once. Press a spoonful of feta cheese on top of each patty the last 2 to 3 minutes of cooking.

  • Spread cut sides of muffins with Chickpea Mayonnaise. Top bottom half of each muffin with lettuce, a burger and cucumber slices. Cover with top half of muffin, and garnish with cilantro.
