Thai Turkey Burgers with Peanut Sauce

Author Amber Brady
Yields 4 Servings

Ingredients

For the Burgers:

  • 1 lb lean ground turkey breast, (I only used ¾ lb, but I only made 3 patties)
  • ½ cup shredded carrot
  • ½ cup finely chopped broccoli
  • 3 Tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • ⅛ tsp ground black pepper
  • Sandwich Thins
  • Crisp lettuce, or spinach leaves

For the Peanut Sauce:

  • 3 Tbsp creamy peanut butter
  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp water
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • ½ tsp hot chili sauce (sriracha)
  • 1 tsp honey
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger

Instructions

  • Create peanut sauce by combining peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, water, garlic, sesame oil, sriracha, honey & ground ginger in a food processor or blender. Blend until very smooth. Reserve 2 Tbsp + 2 tsp & set aside.
  • Combine remaining peanut sauce with turkey, carrots, broccoli, cilantro, green onions, salt, red pepper flakes, & black pepper in a large bowl. Mix well & form into 4 patties (if using 1lb of turkey.)
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat & spray with non-stick spray. Cook patties for 3-4 minutes on one side, then spray the top with more non-stick spray, flip & cook 3-4 minutes more or until burgers are no longer pink in the middle. (*May grill on an outdoor grill, but make sure that grill rack is heavily oiled.)
  • Place a burger patty on each bun & top with 2 teaspoons of the reserved peanut sauce. Add lettuce or baby spinach for crunch & serve.
