Thai Turkey Burgers

Thai Turkey Burgers
Submitted by Christina Schmoyer

For the burgers, combine:

1 pound ground turkey
2 Tbs. chopped scallions
2 Tbs. chopped cilantro
2 Tbs. peanut sauce (recipe below)
1 package hamburger buns

Mix and form burgers, then grill.


For peanut sauce, mix together:

2 Tbs. creamy peanut butter
1 Tbs. rice vinegar
1 Tbs. reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 tsp. grated ginger
1 tsp. sesame oil
1/2 tsp. honey

Stir until smooth and add to burgers before grilling.


Mango salsa: top cooked burgers with salsa

1 ripe cubed mango
1/4 chopped bell pepper
2 Tbs. chopped cilantro
1 Tbs. chopped basil
2 Tbs. lime juice
2 Tbs. olive oil
salt and pepper to taste


**Get a head start: Burgers can be formed up to one day before grilling. Store patties in the refrigerator between layers of parchment paper.  Use wet hands to shape the patties. The meat will be less likely to stick to your fingers.
