Thai-Style Turkey Burgers with Spicy Peanut Sauce

For the Burgers:

• 1 lb lean ground turkey breast (I used 3/4 lb and made 3 patties)
• 1/2 cup shredded carrot
• 1/2 cup finely chopped broccoli
• 3 Tbsp chopped cilantro
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
• Sandwich Thins, for serving
• Crisp lettuce or spinach leaves, for serving

For the Peanut Sauce:

• 3 Tbsp creamy peanut butter
• 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp water
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1/2 tsp hot chili sauce (sriracha)
• 1 tsp honey
• 1/4 tsp ground ginger

• Make the peanut sauce: combine peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, water, garlic, sesame oil, sriracha, honey and ground ginger in a blender or food processor. Blend until very smooth. Reserve 2 Tbsp + 2 tsp of the sauce for serving and set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix the remaining peanut sauce with the turkey, shredded carrot, chopped broccoli, cilantro, green onions, salt, red pepper flakes and black pepper. Combine thoroughly and form into 4 patties if using 1 lb of turkey.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high and coat with non-stick spray. Cook the patties 3–4 minutes on one side, spray the top lightly with non-stick spray, flip and cook 3–4 minutes more, or until no longer pink in the center. You can also grill them; be sure the grill rack is well oiled.
• Assemble the burgers: place each patty on a Sandwich Thin, top with about 2 teaspoons of the reserved peanut sauce, add lettuce or spinach for crunch, and serve immediately.
