From Weight Watchers in 20 Minutes
Makes 4 servings (7pts per serving)

1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 scallions, chopped
1 Tablespoon plain dried bread crumbs
1 Tablespoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

4)Top the burgers evenly with the chutney and the remaining 1/4 cup yogurt; serve with the rice.
We loved this meal! Even Kenzie, who despises ground meat, declared it delicious. We will definitely be having this again. In fact, I'm kind of sad that I already made this week's meal plan. I could have easily had this one again that soon.

I would have blown right by this meal were it not for the rave reviews that it got from you and the family. Now I am considering.
I love curry... I don't know about ground turkey. Only tried it once... and was not a fan. Maybe this would be the recipe to try it again on?
I may have to work up to this one... This would be a lot of new stuff to introduce to my palate. (which is not a bad thing, necessarily, right?)
I admire Kenzie for giving it a try, knowing how much she detests ground meat. She's really good about trying things more than once! I can be like that, right?
Christy-I use ground turkey all the time. I used Jennie O 93/7 which is very lean and yummy.
Try it! You'll love all the flavors!
It's very Indian which I love!
OK! I think that completes the meal plan. I'll let you know what I thought.
And here are my questions. LOL
How do you keep ginger? In the fridge? Out- and if so, in a bag? Just sitting there? I haven't ever worked with it. I know.
And as long as I"m asking..
What is flank steak? I made your recipe the other night w/ the chimichurri (however you spell it) sauce and I just grabbed a steak that was looong. I couldn't find anything at walmart that was labeled Flank (is that my problem? Walmart? Where do you buy yours?)
Oh, when I made it I did the lemon butter broccoli.. Drew said it's the best meal I've cooked this year. Props to you and your blog!!

I keep ginger in the fridge. Yes. It'll keep in there for quite a while. I think the piece I have now I bought about 3 weeks ago. If I get worried about it I'll peel it and put it in the freezer in a ziploc bag. It's actually easier to grate on the microplane if it's frozen. If you don't have one of these, you should get one. They're awesome for grating ginger, parmesan cheese, whole nutmeg, zesting lemons, limes, oranges, etc.)
And the very easiest way to peel ginger is with a spoon! I know it sounds weird but the skin just scrapes right off with a spoon and you can get into all the little knobby places with a spoon better than with a knife. Less waste.
I've never seen flank steak at Walmart. We find them in the manager's special area of our Smith's almost every time we look.
I think that Costco and Sam's Club have pretty decent regular prices on them as well. It's a great steak. The secret is slicing it thin and across the grain.
OK, I'm ready. I got my Jennie O Ground Turkey.
Now, a question that has been plaguing me...What is chutney?
And where did you find "Crosse and Blackwell Major Grey's Chutney"? Please help me!
Thanks!!!
See this site for an explanation of what chutney is.

I only used the brand I did because I have a bunch on hand that I got marked down to $1 a jar at Albertsons. You should be able to find something at pretty much any grocery store near the other Asian food.
But the kind I prefer is mango chutney that I get from the Indian Market that I told you about. Super yummy!
We thought the Spiced Turkey Burgers with Yogurt and Chutney were FABULOUS!!! Thanks!
I fed it to Heather and David and they both thought it was very good.
I didn't do as good on $ for the chutney. Mine was over $5(Macey's).
I will be stopping by that little store soon and probably buy a couple of jars.
