GROUND****Southeast Asian Style Turkey Burgers

By

These were great for both, including the glaze. I made them a few days ahead, froze them then took them out the day before I cooked them.

12/06/13 - Great again. I topped them with just a few french-fried onions.

Preparation

Step 1

* Combine the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring, over high heat. Set aside to cool. In a medium bowl, combine the turkey, fresh coriander, peanut butter, fish sauce, chile sauce, lemongrass, citrus zests, lime juice, ginger, garlic, and salt. Mix with a fork until thoroughly combined. Form into 5 patties, each about 1/2-inch thick.

* Heat a stove top grill pan or out-door grill to medium-high heat. Grill the burgers until just cooked through, about 4 1/2 minutes per side. Brush both sides with the glaze. Serve on a bun garnished with sprouts and scallions. Drizzle with more glaze if desired.
