Step-by-Step Instructions for Thai Sweet Chili Turkey Burgers
  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, grated ginger, sliced green onions, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about ¾-inch thick.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine the Thai sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, and an additional minced garlic clove. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Cook the patties for 4-6 minutes, brushing with glaze halfway through.
  5. Toast burger buns lightly, then layer lettuce, a patty, shredded carrots, cucumber, and cilantro on each bun.
  6. Serve the burgers hot with jasmine rice or quick-pickled vegetables.
