Ingredients

1 tablespoon mustard seeds

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 tablespoon plus 3/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt

5 tablespoons mango chutney, mashed if chunky

3 teaspoons curry powder

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 pound extra-lean ground turkey breast meat

7 tablespoons chopped green onion tops

7 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

1/4 cup chopped tart green apple

Nonstick vegetable oil spray

4 5- to 6-inch-diameter pita breads

Method

Shake mustard seeds in medium skillet over low heat until seeds begin to pop, about 2 minutes. Transfer seeds to bowl. Mix in applesauce, 1 tablespoon yogurt, 2 tablespoons chutney, 2 teaspoons curry powder, salt and cayenne. Mix in turkey, 4 tablespoons onion tops and 4 tablespoons mint. Shape into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.

Mix apple, 3/4 cup yogurt, 3 tablespoons chutney, 3/4 teaspoon curry powder, 3 tablespoons onion tops and 3 tablespoons mint in small bowl.

Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Spray burgers with nonstick spray; grill until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Cut 1 end off each pita; fill with 1 burger, some lettuce and 1/4 of yogurt mixture.
