Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, chopped green onions, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined and shape into four patties.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the Thai sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice. Simmer over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until thickened slightly.
  3. Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip, brush with glaze, and cook for another 4-5 minutes until cooked through.
  4. Toast the burger buns, then layer fresh lettuce, a glazed turkey patty, shredded carrots, and cucumber on the bottom half before adding cilantro and the top bun.
