Ingredients
  

Ground Turkey Burger and Ingredients

  • 8 oz ground turkey
  • 1/4 cup baby carrots (diced)
  • 1 red bell pepper (diced)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1/4 cup Thai basil leaves (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup green onions (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sauteeing)

Peanut Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon ginger paste
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions
 

  • Make the Magic Sauce:  In a bowl or jar, whisk together the peanut butter, coconut milk, ginger paste, soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, sriracha, and lime juice. Stir until smooth and creamy. Half of this goes into the patties, and the rest becomes your dipping sauce.
  • Mix the Patties:  In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, diced carrots, bell peppers, garlic, basil, and green onions. Pour in half the peanut sauce. Mix it all up using your hands or a fork (don't overwork it!) and form into 4 even-sized patties.
  • Cook to Perfection:
    Sautee Method: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high. Cook patties 4–5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked to 165°F inside.
    Grill Method: Preheat and grease the grill, then grill 4–5 minutes per side. Use a thermometer to nail the perfect temp.
  • Serve It Up: Eat them warm or prep for the week. Pop them into containers with burger buns, lettuce wraps, or over rice bowls. Drizzle with the extra sauce and you’ve got a Thai twist on your plate all week long
