1 large scallion, minced
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 teaspoon + 1 to 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce, divided
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ to ½ teaspoon salt, to taste
¼ to ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, to taste
¼ teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons mayonnaise, preferably olive-oil based (can use a light or egg-free version)
Handful of cilantro, finely minced
chili garlic sauce, to taste
Water, to thin, as needed
Mini “buns” of choice (wheat-based, gluten-free, or bibb lettuce leaves), for serving
Instructions
Put the ground turkey, carrot, scallion, peanut butter, 1 teaspoon chili sauce, ginger, salt, pepper, and sesame oil in a medium bowl, and stir until combined.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and spray lightly with cooking spray.
Form the turkey mixture into 16 to 20 miniature sliders patties.
Cook the patties for about 3 to 5 minutes per side, until cooked through.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, cilantro, and remaining 1 to 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce, to taste. If desired, add a little water to thin the mixture.
Serve the burgers on buns or in bibb lettuce leaves and top with the cilantro-chili mayo.
