🥘Ingredients

For the Turkey Burgers

1 lb ground turkey
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp grated ginger
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp vegetable oil

For the Peanut Sauce

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp honey
1 tsp grated ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
1-2 tbsp water

For Serving

4 burger buns
1/2 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup sliced cucumber
1/4 cup chopped green onions

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, red onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper.
2Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
3Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
4While the turkey mixture is chilling, prepare the peanut sauce.
5In a small saucepan, whisk together peanut butter, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, and garlic.
6Gradually add water until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
7Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce is smooth and warmed through.
Set aside.
8Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
9Add vegetable oil and heat until it shimmers.
10Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, using a burger press or your hands.
11Press gently to create a slight indentation in the center of each patty.
12This will help prevent the burgers from puffing up and becoming round while cooking.
13Carefully place the turkey patties in the hot skillet.
14Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
15The patties should be browned and crispy on the outside, with no pink remaining in the center.
16Be careful when flipping the patties to avoid breaking them.
17While the burgers are cooking, toast the burger buns in the oven or on the stovetop until golden brown and crispy.
18Assemble the burgers by placing a turkey patty on the bottom bun, followed by shredded lettuce, sliced cucumber, chopped green onions, and a generous drizzle of peanut sauce.
19Place the top bun and serve immediately, accompanied by any remaining peanut sauce for dipping.
