Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the ground turkey with breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, cilantro, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to mix until just combined.
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions, about 6 ounces each. Shape each portion into patties, about ¾ inch thick.
  3. Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. If using a skillet, add a small drizzle of oil.
  4. Place the patties on the grill or in the skillet, ensuring they are spaced apart. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, flipping only once.
  5. While the patties are cooking, whisk together the creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and sriracha in a separate bowl.
  6. Once the patties are done, assemble your Thai Peanut Turkey Burgers with a layer of peanut sauce on each bun, add the patty, drizzle more sauce on top, and finish with your favorite toppings.
  7. Serve the Thai Peanut Turkey Burgers immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty for even cooking and maintain shape. Prepare the peanut sauce in advance to enhance flavors.
