Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Thai Peanut Turkey Burgers
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, green onions, cilantro, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Pour in the soy sauce, lime juice, and sesame oil, followed by a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix everything with clean hands until just combined.
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions, shaping each into a ¾ inch thick patty. Place them on a plate or a parchment-lined tray.
  3. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat, adding a light drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Once the grill or skillet is hot, carefully place the patties on it. Cook for about 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
  5. While the patties are cooking, whisk together creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and sriracha in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
  6. Spread a generous layer of peanut sauce on the lower half of each burger bun, place a cooked patty on top, and drizzle more sauce on the patty. Top with shredded carrot, cucumber slices, cilantro leaves, and red onion.
  7. Serve immediately with additional peanut sauce on the side.
