Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken (or turkey for an alternative)
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, grated
- 2 stalks green onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 0.25 cup peanut butter (creamy)
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp sriracha or chili sauce (optional)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 0.5 cup cucumber slices
- 0.5 cup shredded carrots
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (optional)
- 0.25 cup extra peanut butter or peanut sauce for topping
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, peanut butter, lime juice, sriracha (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands or a spatula until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties, about ¾ inch thick.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
Cook the patties for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked chicken patty.
Top each patty with cucumber slices, shredded carrots, and fresh cilantro (if using). Drizzle a small amount of extra peanut butter or peanut sauce over the toppings.
Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately. Enjoy these Thai Peanut Burgers with sweet potato fries or a side salad for a complete meal!
