Paleo Thai Turkey Burgers {Whole30, Keto}

INGREDIENTS :

SRIRACHA MAYO :

• 1/3 cup homemade paleo mayo or store bought paleo mayo, like Primal Kitchen or Sir Kensington's
• 2-3 teaspoons Paleo friendly sriracha sauce - I used Yellowbird
• 1 clove garlic minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

BURGERS :

• 1 lb ground turkey - not too lean
• 1/2 small red onion diced
• 2 tablespoons cilantro minced
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon paleo friendly sriracha sauce
• 2 teaspoons coconut aminos
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• Avocado oil or nonstick cooking spray

SLAW :

• 2 cups slaw mix
• 1 scallion thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
• Sea salt and black pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS :

1. Make the sriracha mayo first. Whisk together all ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside. You can also make the sauce ahead of time up to a day and refrigerate, covered, until ready to use.
2. To make the burgers, mix together all ingredients. The mixture might be sticky depending on the leanness of the turkey. Lightly wetting your hands before shaping into patties helps avoid stickiness.
3. Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat and brush or drizzle with oil or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
4. Using slightly wet hands, form the mixture into 5-6 patties. Cook on each side for about 3 minutes or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate while you prepare the slaw.
5. Toss the slaw mix with the scallions, lime juice, oil, and sea salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve the burgers topped with the sauce and the slaw on iceberg lettuce wraps to keep them keto and Whole30. You can also serve on my paleo hamburger buns*, or gluten free buns of your choice. Enjoy!
