Asian Style Turkey Burgers with Ginger, Coconut Milk, and Cilantro
Spice up your next meal with buns with a turkey burger seasoned with fresh ginger and chopped cilantro. Coconut milk adds richness and moistness to them.
Add in soy sauce, sesame oil, or even a spicy chili sauce to season up the burgers, if desired. Use regular coconut milk in this recipe, not the sweetened cream of coconut that is available in cans. And if coconut milk isn’t available, simply substitute 2 tablespoons of regular milk, or use a vegetable or chicken broth instead.
Form into burger-sized patties for burgers, or roll into balls for individual meatballs.
