+Preparation+
Make burgers:
In a small bowl stir together Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, garlic paste, chili powder, cumin, Tabasco, and salt and pepper to taste until sauce is smooth.
In a large bowl stir together turkey, onion, bread crumbs, and *1/4 cup sauce* until combined well and form into six 3/4-inch-thick patties. *Burgers may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.*
Divide remaining sauce in half and put in separate bowls, half for brushing burgers on the grill and half for drizzling on cooked burgers. Chill sauce, covered.
Make cole slaw:
In a large bowl whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and mustard. Add remaining cole slaw ingredients and salt and pepper to taste and toss to combine well. Cole slaw may be made 4 hours ahead and chilled, covered.
Prepare grill.
Grill burgers on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, brushing frequently with barbecue sauce, 6 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Drizzle burgers with remaining barbecue sauce and serve with cole slaw in pita pockets.

Makes 5 - 6 burgers; Patties are made using just 1/4 c sauce!
