Ingredients
- 3 ea Pita bread – quartered
- 1/4 ea Red onion – chopped
- 1 1/4 lbs Ground turkey
- 1 pkg Froxen spinach – 10 oz Thawed and squeezed dry
- 2 tsp Ras-El-Hanout
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp Coriander seed
- 1 lb Carrot sliced thinly on diagonal
- 1/3 cup Cilantro – leaves finely chopped
- Cilantro to garnish
- 1 ea Orange juiced
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler. Process 2 pita quarters in a food processor to make coarse crumbs. Add the red onion and pulse until finely chopped. Add the turkey, spinach, ras el hanout, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; pulse until combined.
- Shape the mixture into twelve 4-inch-long, 1/2-inch-thick oval patties on a baking sheet. Brush the patties with 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Broil until lightly golden and cooked through, about 6 minutes.
- Crush the coriander seeds with the flat side of a knife. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the carrots and coriander and cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro and orange juice; season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the turkey patties, carrots and the remaining pita quarters among plates. Top the patties with the yogurt and sprinkle the dish with more cilantro.
