Ingredients
For the burgers:
1 pound ground turkey
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
4 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro
6 sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons harissa paste (find it at specialty markets or make it yourself)
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Coconut oil
To serve:
1 head gem lettuce, leaves separated
1 avocado, peeled, pitted and cut into slices
2 vine tomatoes, sliced
Dijon mustard
Instructions
Mix the ground turkey, shallots, garlic, herbs, sun-dried tomatoes and egg yolk together in a large bowl. Add the harissa paste, season well with salt and pepper and mix again.
Using your hands, divide the mixture into four and press into patties, roughly 1 inch thick. Place on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
When you are ready, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Remove the burgers from the fridge and lightly grease a nonstick baking sheet with a touch of coconut oil. Arrange the burgers on the sheet and bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking.
Serve the burgers on a bed of the lettuce leaves with the sliced avocado and tomato on top of each one. These are particularly lovely with a dollop of Dijon mustard.
