1/4 cup sweet chili sauce

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 small shallot, finely chopped
05 -
1 tablespoon fish sauce or soy sauce

4 whole wheat burger buns

# How to Make It:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, sweet chili sauce, minced garlic, chopped shallot, fish sauce (or soy sauce), lime juice, cilantro, grated ginger, black pepper, and salt. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
02 -
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick. Make a slight depression in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
03 -
Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or the skillet with non-stick spray.
04 -
Place the patties on the grill or in the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the patties are golden brown.
05 -
Toast the whole wheat burger buns lightly on the grill or in the skillet. Place a lettuce leaf on each bun bottom, followed by the turkey patty. Top with sliced cucumber and red onion.
06 -
Drizzle additional sweet chili sauce over the patties and cap the burgers with the top bun. Serve hot with your favorite side.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
To ensure the patties are evenly cooked, make a shallow depression in their centers before grilling.
