Burger:
 1 lb (450 g) ground Ontario turkey
 ¼ cup (60 mL) unsweetened desiccated coconut
 2 tbsp (30 mL) unseasoned breadcrumbs
 1 tbsp (15 mL) garam masala
 ½ tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper
 4 whole grain hamburger buns* split in half
Raita:
 ½ cup (125 mL) plain yogurt
 ½ English cucumber, peeled and coarsely grated
 1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh mint
 1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh cilantro, plus additional for garnish
 ½ tsp (2 mL) cumin
 ½ red onion, sliced
 ¼ cup (60 mL) mango chutney
 3 tbsp (45 mL) toasted large flaked coconut
Steps:
1

Preheat a lightly oiled BBQ to medium-high heat. In a bowl, gently combine turkey, coconut, breadcrumbs, garam masala, and salt and pepper. Using dampened hands, shape the turkey mixture into 4 – ¾-inch thick patties. Use your knuckles to make a shallow depression in the center of each patty.

Grill the patties for 7 minutes per side until cooked through. If desired, toast the buns during the final minute of cooking. Meanwhile, assemble the raita. In bowl, add yogurt, cucumber, mint, cilantro and cumin; season with salt and whisk to combine.

To assemble, spread the bottom half of each bun with raita, top with a turkey burger. On each patty arrange sliced onion, mango chutney, toasted coconut and cilantro. Top with remaining bun half.
