Ingredients

Cucumber salad:

1 cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced rounds
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/8 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Burger:

1 1/4 pounds ground turkey
1/3 cup steamed jasmine rice
1/4 cup panko
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 Thai chili or serrano chile, seeded and minced
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon peanut oil
4 sesame hamburger buns

Wasabi mayonnaise:

1/2 cup homemade mayonnaise or store-bought
1 teaspoon wasabi powder
1/2 teaspoon minced ginger
1 teaspoon finely chopped lemon peel

Directions

Cucumber salad: Toss cucumbers, onions, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a medium sized bowl. Let it marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.

Burger: Mix ground turkey, rice, panko, green onions, egg, sesame oil, soy sauce, Thai chile, and sugar very well. Make into 4 patties. Season with salt and pepper.

Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute burgers until cooked through, approximately 5 to 6 minutes per side (depending on how thick you make them).

Wasabi mayonnaise: While burgers are cooking, toast buns, and mix mayonnaise, with wasabi powder, ginger, and lemon peel in a small bowl.

Drain cucumber salad well.

Smear 1 tablespoon wasabi mayonnaise on toasted bun halves, spread with a layer of drained cucumber salad, then top with burger and cover with bun top.

Delicious chic Dinner party Burger!

This burger is so unusual and delicate i have actually served it at a dinner party before (admittedly, it was an alfresco... dinner!)

Great-tasting Asian Turkey Burger
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

What more can be said that already hasn't? I made these for a small dinner party and they were all gone. I didn't have Thai... chilis on hand so I just used an Asian sweet chili relish which worked out fine. The cucumber-onion relish is tangy, refreshing, and a nice contrast to the wasabi mayo. I cheated with the mayo and just bought TJ's brand and grated some fresh ginger and lemon peel into it, and it tasted awesome. Overall an excellent burger that should have won the competition. The high number of positive reviews speak for themselves.Read more

A New Family Favorite
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The first time I made these burgers was just after the show aired, and I've made them (by family request) at least once a... week ever since. They are moist, tender, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and just as good with catsup and mustard as they are with wasabi mayo and cucumber salad. When I don't have the Thai chili, I use a teaspoon of Sambal, and it works really well. I just can't recommend them highly enough.Read more

yummy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The entire family gave this two thumbs up for a total of 12 thumbs!! The crunchyness is something different that really... appeals to the kids. I love it becse we can store the burgers for about two days and they are fairly crunch and the cucumber/onion mix just gets better!!Read more
