The flavors of this burger and the slaw on top complimented each other so well.
My husband's only issue with the burger....I made them a little too fat! Other then that his reaction after being skeptical about the ground turkey was "oh my god that is a good burger!" He would like to see it again soon on our weekly menu.
Recipe:
Asian Turkey Burger-
Ingredients
For the mayo-
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon of Sriracha
For the burgers-
1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
3 cloves minced garlic
2 scallions, finely chopped
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 teaspoon red pepper flake
Hamburger buns
For the Asian Slaw-
1 red or orange bell pepper- thinly sliced
1 onion (red or yellow)- thinly sliced
1 carrot- thinly slice or shredded
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
- To make the mayo, mix together the mayonnaise and the Sriracha in a small bowl and set aside.
- Next prepare the slaw so the flavors can blend while the burgers cook. Mix all the liquid slaw ingredients in a medium bowl. Toss the sliced vegetables in the sauce and set aside in the fridge.
- Using your hands, mix all the ingredients for the burgers in a large bowl until just incorporated. Scoop out mixture and form into a patty. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
- Heat a grill pan (or an outdoor grill) Lightly oil the pan. Grill the patties about 5 to 7 minutes per side, until well browned on both sides and a meat thermometer reads 165.
- As burgers finish grilling toast buns on grill. When buns are ready spread mayo mixture on top of bun. Burgers can be served with the slaw on top. If you would rather eat slaw as a side top burgers with tomato and lettuce. I also topped our burgers with swiss cheese which worked wonderful with the flavors but tasted great without!
