Cup of Yum
To Prepare the Thai Turkey Burgers:
- In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for the burgers.
- Form 4 (1/4 pound) burger patties.
- Heat a cast iron skillet to medium-high heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom (or fire up the grill).
- Place burger patties on skillet and cook until crispy and charred on the bottom, about 5 minutes.
- Flip burger to the other side and cook on the other side until cooked all the way through. When the patties are finished cooking, they will feel firm when poked.
- Toast your favorite burger buns in the oven or in a toaster then form your burgers with desired amount of curry yogurt sauce and Asian slaw.
Notes
- You can find the Asian Slaw recipe here. Try this recipe with 2 to 3 tablespoons of sliced water chestnuts. *This recipe will not work with any other type of coconut milk besides the full-fat kind from a can. You can also omit the coconut milk altogether and the burgers will still be great!
