How to Make Asian Turkey Burgers With Spicy Yogurt Sauce

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground turkey, 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, and 1 large egg.
  2. Puree 1 cup packed fresh spinach in a food processor until smooth. Add to the turkey mixture and gently combine.
  3. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Form the turkey mixture into 4 patties (about 3/4 inch thick). Brown the patties for 3-4 minutes per side.
  4. Transfer the patties to a greased baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. While the burgers bake, prepare the yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp sriracha (or more, to taste), 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1/4 tsp garlic powder. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  6. Serve the Asian turkey burgers immediately, topped with the spicy yogurt sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions (optional).
