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.
Servings: SIX BURGERS
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.
