Curry Sweet Potato Veggie Burger

steps

Make the avocado curry sauce:

1. In a food processor, combine avocado, yogurt, curry powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add a little water if needed to thin sauce to desired consistency. Set aside.

Make the veggie patties:

1. In a large pot, boil or steam sweet potatoes until tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
2. In a large bowl, combine mashed sweet potato, cooked rice, breadcrumbs, curry powder, cumin, coriander, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Form mixture into 4 patties. If mixture is too wet, add half a tablespoon of breadcrumbs at a time until desired texture is reached.
4. Heat a nonstick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly grease with oil. Cook patties until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees, 4 to 5 minutes on each side. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Havarti cheese on each patty and cover with a lid to melt cheese.

Assemble the burger:

1. On bottom half of each bun, spread a generous amount of avocado curry sauce and place veggie burger on top. Add lettuce leaves, cucumbers, and tomato. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
