Curried Pork Burger

Submitted by Bergy

"This recipe is from Canadian Living magazine - . I am so happy that I stumbled across this recipe - We loved it. Tasty & Moist. It may be difficult to BBQ because it has a loose texture. I used Thai red curry paste. Be sure that the center of the burger reaches a temperature of 160F The prep time does not include the chill time. Serve with a green salad and perhaps Baked Beans or your favorite Oven Fries. Try topping it with Mango Chutney I usually like to fry some mushrooms along side the burgers."
