Thai Turkey Burgers

I love the flavors of chicken satay but don’t always have the time or foresight to remember to marinate the chicken. We use turkey instead of chicken and add a touch of peanut butter, so the burger stays juicy and moist. This burger brings all of those delicious flavors together, and it’s easy to make and grill off.

INGREDIENTS

  • 6 cup1 lb ground turkey meat (at least 94% fat)

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced 

  • 1/2-inch knob ginger, minced 

  • 2 tablespoons cilantro

  • 2 green onions (green part only)

  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (heaping)

  • 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce 

  • 1 tablespoon tamari

  • sliced cucumbers

  • grated carrots

  • shredded cabbage

     

    Spicy Mayonnaise

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

  • 2 teaspoons Sriracha  

  • pinch of salt 

     

  • 6 Gluten-free buns or 6 pieces of Iceberg lettuce

PREPARATION

1 Place turkey, garlic, ginger, cilantro, green onions, peanut butter, chili garlic sauce, and tamari in a bowl and mix well. 

2 Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, scoop out the mixture and shape into a patty and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. 

3 Heat a grill to medium-high. Drizzle a little oil on the pan and place the patty down. Cook 4 minutes per side* or until the center is no longer pink. 

4 To make spicy mayonnaise, place mayonnaise, Sriracha and a pinch of salt into a bowl and whisk.

5 To plate place a burger on a bun or piece of lettuce, spread some mayonnaise, and top with additional vegetables. 

NOTES

  • *I like to cover the pan after cooking for 2 minutes to make sure that the inside cooks through.
