Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz ground turkey (93% lean)
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp Sambal Oelek (chili garlic sauce)
- 0.25 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
- 4 buns whole-wheat burger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, green onions, cilantro, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, fish sauce, Sambal Oelek, and Panko breadcrumbs. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
Place the patties on the skillet or grill pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Lightly toast the whole-wheat burger buns, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Add a turkey patty, followed by sliced cucumber, and top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy Thai Turkey Burger!
