Spicy Sriracha Turkey Burgers with Fresh Herbs
Citrusy pale ale: Anderson Valley Poleeko Gold.
Ingredients
-
1 small shallot, quartered
-
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
-
Two 1/4-inch-thick slices of peeled fresh ginger
-
1 jalapeño, stemmed and seeded
-
1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
-
1 1/4 pounds ground turkey
-
Vegetable oil, for brushing
-
1/4 cup mayonnaise
-
1 teaspoon Sriracha
-
4 brioche or kaiser rolls, split and toasted
-
Bread-and-butter pickles, lettuce, mint leaves and chopped peanuts, for serving
Direction
-
In a mini food processor, pulse the shallot, cilantro, ginger and jalapeño with the fish sauce until chopped. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and knead in the turkey. Using slightly moistened hands, form the meat into four 4-inch patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
-
Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Brush the burgers with oil and grill over moderately high heat, turning once, until golden and crusty and just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
-
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the Sriracha. Spread the mixture on the rolls. Top with the burgers, pickles, lettuce, mint and peanuts, close and serve.
