Instructions
To Make the Burgers
- Mix all the turkey burger ingredients (except the hoisin sauce) into a mixing bowl by hand or electric mixer.
- Divide the mixture into four and make four patties about 1/2 inch thick. Alternatively, use a burger maker to make 1/4-pounder-size burgers.
- Heat 1-2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet or pan on medium heat. Carefully place the burgers in the pan and sear them until golden and cooked, about 5-6 minutes on each side. Avoid the urge to disturb them; let them cook uninterrupted and develop a good crust before flipping.
- Add a teaspoon of hoisin sauce over each burger and brush the surface to coat. Flip over and cook that side for a few minutes. Add the hoisin sauce on the flipped side and cook again until slightly charred.
- Place each burger over cucumber slices on a bed of lettuce, top with sweet Thai at chilli sauce and coleslaw.
Homemade Sweet Thai Chilli Sauce
- Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and stir continuously until the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool.
