thai chicken/turkey burgers

Ingredients

For the Chicken Patties:

– 1 lb. 96% Lean Ground Chicken (not ground breast)

– 3 Cloves Garlic, minced

– 3 Scallions, sliced

– 1/4 Cup Fresh Basil Leaves, roughly chopped

– 1 Thai Chili, minced (or sub 1/2 jalapeño seeds removed)

– 1 Tbsp Fish Sauce (or sub soy sauce)

– 1 Lime, juice

– 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt

– 1/4 tsp Pepper

– 1 tsp Sugar

– 2 tsp Ground Coriander

For the Slaw:

– 3 Tbsp Creamy Natural Peanut Butter

– 1 Lime, juice

– 1 tsp Sugar

– 1 Tbsp White Vinegar

– 2 tsp Soy Sauce

– 1 tsp Sriracha or Chili Sauce

– 1 Tbsp Water

– 2+1/2 Cups Red Cabbage

– 1/2 Cup Shredded Carrots

For the Burgers:

– 3 Kaiser Rolls (or buns of choice)

– 1/2 a Cucumber, sliced thin

– Basil Leaves, for garnish

Directions

1️⃣ First, make the slaw: Whisk together the peanut butter, lime juice, sugar, white vinegar, soy sauce, sriracha, and water; add the cabbage and carrots and mix; set aside

2️⃣ Preheat oven to 350F

3️⃣ Add all the ingredients for the chicken patties to a bowl and mix; form into 3 burger patties with your hands

4️⃣ Preheat a large pan over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp oil; place the burger patties in the pan (I found using my hands was easiest for this) and cook 2-3 mins per side (until golden brown) then transfer to the oven and bake 10-12 mins until internal temp reaches 165F

5️⃣ Toast buns cut side up under the broiler for 1-2 mins until golden brown and serve with the chicken burger patties, sliced cucumber, peanut slaw, and basil on top - enjoy!
