When we’re tired of everyday burgers, I make these turkey patties for a taste of Thailand. The slaw is a fun switch from the traditional burger garnishes.—Shelby Goddard, Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Ingredients:
spicy peanut slaw:
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon thai chili sauce
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1 tablespoon thai red chili paste
1 cup shredded cabbage
1 small carrot, shredded
1 radish, finely chopped
1 green onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons dry roasted peanuts, chopped
1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh mint or 1/2 teaspoon dried mint
burgers:
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 to 3 teaspoons thai red chili paste
1 pound ground turkey
4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, chili sauce, peanut butter and chili paste. Add the remaining slaw ingredients; toss to coat. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the onion, cilantro, garlic and chili paste. Crumble turkey over mixture and mix well. Shape into four patties.
3. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 165° and juices run clear. Serve on buns with slaw. Yield: 4 servings.
