Ingredients

1 tablespoon red curry paste
one 14-ounce can coconut milk
salt, to taste
2 pound ground white turkey meat
2 pound ground dark turkey meat
1 stick butter, melted
1 teaspoon chopped rosemary
1 teaspoon chopped sage
1 teaspoon chopped thyme
hamburger bun
lettuce, for garnish
slice of tomato, for garnish

Directions

To make the red curry gravy, bring the coconut milk to a boil and add the red curry paste and 2 teaspoons of salt. Stir well and cook for 2 minutes. Set aside until ready to use.
In a large bowl, lightly mix the turkey meat together, being careful not to overmix.
Combine the butter and chopped herbs and cool to room temperature. Add to the turkey mix with 1 tablespoon of salt. Mix until well incorporated. Shape 8 ounces of the turkey meat into a hamburger patty and grill to desire doneness, either on an indoor griddle or outdoor grill. Top with lettuce, tomato, sliced avocado, and a dab of the red curry gravy.
