Ingredients

For the Burger

  • 1 lb. ground turkey
  • 1/2 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves chopped
  • 1 small onion chopped (about 1/3 cup)
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil for cooking
  • freshly ground black pepper

For the Salad

  • 1/2 head of bibb lettuce chopped
  • 1/2 head of red leaf lettuce chopped
  • 1/4 head of a small red cabbage sliced
  • 1/2 pint cherry or grape tomatoes sliced in half
  • 1 small red onion sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

For the Dressing

  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • water for thinning out if necessary

Instructions

  • Combine all the ingredients for the burger in a large bowl.
  • Mix together with clean hands until combined.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with the coconut oil.
  • Once hot, form the turkey mixture into 4 patties and cook in skillet for about 3-5 minutes per side or until cooked all the way through.
  • Set cooked burgers aside.
  • In the same skillet, heat the olive oil & butter in the salad ingredients over medium heat.
  • Once hot, add the sliced red onion.
  • Let saute until the onions start to caramelize.
  • Meanwhile, combine the remaining salad components in serving bowls.
  • While the onions cook, also combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together. Add water in tablespoon increments if you want to thin the dressing out.
  • Once the onions are sufficiently caramelized to your liking, place them on top of the salad.
  • Slice the burgers and arrange on top of the salad bowls.
  • Drizzle the dressing over top and serve.
