How to Make Garlic Chili Turkey Burger

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk the vinegar, sugar and black pepper until the sugar is dissolved. Add the cucumber and onion, toss and marinate for 30 minutes.
Step 2

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the yogurt and 1 teaspoon of the chili garlic sauce.
Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the turkey, hoisin sauce, hot sauce, scallions, ginger, garlic, jalapeño, chopped cilantro and the remaining 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce. Form into 4 patties.
Step 4

In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat the oil until hot. Cook the patties, turning once, until the meat is no longer pink, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Step 5

Drain the cucumber and red onion mixture and toss with the whole cilantro leaves.
Step 6

Arrange a burger patty on each bun and top with yogurt sauce, lettuce leaves, and cucumber and red onion mixture.
