THAI BURGERS



Thai Burgers image

This is my adaption of a Thai Burger recipe by Rachel Ray. The original recipe calls for 2 pounds of ground chicken breast. I used turkey breast and only about 1/3 pound per person. The burgers were shaped about 30 minutes ahead of cooking, allowing the flavors to blend somewhat. The burgers are delicious and moist. The dipping sauce really sets these apart.

THAI CHICKEN SLAW BURGERS



Thai Chicken Slaw Burgers image

One of my family's favorite meals! We vary the toppings by sometimes using cabbage slaw and other times broccoli slaw. Super healthy and low in fat! We've also substituted iceberg lettuce leaves for the buns to lower the calories. Messier but so yummy! Serve any extra slaw on the side. You can serve these over rice or on a bed of salad, too. We've also turned them into lettuce wraps to save more calories!
