Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 0.5 cup bread crumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or nonstick spray
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces sliced tomatoes
- 4 rings sliced red onion
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, egg, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined but do not overwork the meat.
Step 2
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick. Use your thumb to create a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter and sriracha (or hot sauce). Set aside. This will be your finishing sauce for the burgers.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Once hot, place the turkey patties onto the skillet or grill.
Step 5
Cook the patties for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) as measured with a meat thermometer. Avoid pressing on the patties with a spatula to retain their juiciness.
Step 6
During the last minute of cooking, spread about 3/4 tablespoon of the peanut butter and sriracha mixture over the top of each patty. Allow it to slightly melt and coat the burgers as they finish cooking.
Step 7
Remove the patties from the heat and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each burger bun, followed by a slice of tomato, a cooked turkey patty, and a ring of red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
Step 9
Serve your Peanut Butter Turkey Burgers warm with your favorite sides such as sweet potato fries or a simple salad!
