Instructions
Create peanut sauce by combining peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, water, garlic, sesame oil, sriracha, honey & ground ginger in a food processor or blender. Blend until very smooth. Reserve 2 Tbsp + 2 tsp & set aside.
Combine remaining peanut sauce with turkey, carrots, broccoli, cilantro, green onions, salt, red pepper flakes, & black pepper in a large bowl. Mix well & form into 4 patties (if using 1lb of turkey.)
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat & spray with non-stick spray. Cook patties for 3-4 minutes on one side, then spray the top with more non-stick spray, flip & cook 3-4 minutes more or until burgers are no longer pink in the middle. (*May grill on an outdoor grill, but make sure that grill rack is heavily oiled.)
Place a burger patty on each bun & top with 2 teaspoons of the reserved peanut sauce. Add lettuce or baby spinach for crunch & serve.
