Worthy of a Special Occasion

Peanuts, cilantro, brown sugar, lime juice, and fish sauce create the flavors of the Indonesian meat skewers called saté. Using equal amounts of ground turkey and pork keeps these burgers lean. Serve on a bed of brown rice with spinach and lime wedges.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 patty)

Ingredients

  • 1/2  cup  chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4  cup  finely chopped unsalted dry-roasted peanuts
  • 1 1/2  tablespoons  brown sugar
  • 2  tablespoons  fresh lime juice
  • 1 1/2  tablespoons  fish sauce
  • 1 1/2  teaspoons  ground cumin
  • 1/2  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon  hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco)
  • 3  garlic cloves, minced
  • 3/4  pound  ground pork
  • 3/4  pound  ground turkey breast
  • Cooking spray

Preparation

Prepare grill.

Combine first 11 ingredients. Divide mixture into 6 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty.

Place patties on a grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer registers 165°. Remove from grill; let stand 5 minutes.
