Sweet & Spicy Thai Turkey Burgers
with Pickles, Roasted Bell Pepper, Potato Wedges & Chili Aioli

Our chefs believe creating the perfect patty is like writing a hit song: Pack it with the right ingredients and it sings. Tonight’s patties open with ground turkey, then build to a stunning chorus of ginger and shallot. The crescendo comes with a flawless sear—crispy meat on the outside, juicy on the inside. And if you’re looking for that key change, we’ve got the sauce for you. Here, we top these turkey burgers with homemade quick pickles, roasted bell pepper, and drizzle of chili aioli. Plus, no burger would be complete without a side of potato wedges to dip into any extra aioli. Now that’s a Top 40 burger.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. • Halve bell pepper; remove stem and seeds. Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Halve, peel, and finely chop shallot. Peel and mince or grate ginger. Trim and thinly slice cucumber into rounds. Halve buns.
• Toss bell pepper on one side of a lightly oiled baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper; arrange cut sides down. • Toss potatoes on empty side with a drizzle of oil, Fry Seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. (For 4 servings, divide between 2 sheets; roast potatoes on top rack and bell peppers on middle rack.) • Roast on top rack, tossing potatoes halfway through, until bell pepper is softened and lightly charred and potatoes are golden brown and crispy, 23-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, chili sauce, and 1 tsp shallot. Season with salt and pepper. • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine cucumber, vinegar, 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Microwave for 60 seconds. (Taste and add a pinch more sugar if you like a sweeter pickle.) Set aside, stirring occasionally, until ready to serve.
• In a large bowl, combine turkey*, ginger, and 2 TBSP remaining shallot (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Season with salt (we used ½ tsp) and pepper. Form into two patties (four patties for 4), each slightly wider than a burger bun.
• Once veggies have roasted 10 minutes, heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium heat. Add patties; cook until browned and cooked through, 5-8 minutes per side. • Meanwhile, toast buns in oven (place directly on oven rack or use a baking sheet) until golden, 2-3 minutes.
• Fill buns with patties, pickles (draining first), bell pepper, and a bit of aioli. • Divide burgers between plates and serve with potatoes and remaining aioli on the side for dipping.

- Suggestions: Consider adding more seasoning to the turkey; slice the roasted pepper for easier eating 🍔.
- Leftovers: The chili aioli was a hit, with some making extra to keep in the fridge for other dishes.
- Portions: Some felt the turkey portion was too small, especially for those skipping the bun.
Reviews from our home cooks
I loved everything about this. The lighter meat taste of turkey but with the zing of shallots and ginger inside, the slightly sweet brioche bun, the charred flavor of the red pepper, the crunch of the quick pickles, the twist on regular mayo, and the perfectly spiced fry seasoning for the potato wedges. I did miss some more spice, but I didn't even care because everything was so delicious.
We loved the flavors. We've never made our own pickles and loved the combination with the roasted bell peppers, pickles, and sweet thai aoli. I did not think it had a spice at all to it. But, its not something we traditionally would have thought to put together and we will make again
Roasted red pepper was a big hit and Chili Aioli so tasty. The turkey burger mixture was very sticky, so I added some panko crumbs to help form it into into patties.
The use of ginger was unexpected but really gave great flavor to the turkey burgers. We enjoyed them more than a beef burger. Was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to make the pickles!
This burger was delicious. I'm confused about why it is called spicy though; it had good flavor, but definitely wasn't spicy. I ended up with more shallot than the recipe called for, but I decided to use it all, and it was good. (I probably put 2-3 tsp in the sauce and 3-4 Tbsp in the burgers.) The potato wedges aren't great, but the dipping sauce made them much better.
THE BEST turkey burger I've ever tasted! The flavor combinations were on point! Who knew a roasted red pepper could taste so good? And the aoli sauce was absolutely supurb with this burger!!
My husband loves burgers so we try all the different types. We have decided we actually prefer the ones not made with beef better-which came as a surprise to us both! We loved the flavors of this burger! Never thought to roast 1/2 a red pepper and put it on a burger. We will be stealing this idea for sandwiches and burgers going forward. It adds another profile of flavor. Combined with homemade pickes...yum!
I loved this! It was a new tasting experience and the flavors were amazing. It all worked perfectly together. Thank you for making turkey burgers an option. I would gladly eat this again.
Portion size on the turkey burgers was too small for us since we don't eat bread, and the potatoes included were tiny. We also found the chili sauce included to mix with the mayo had an odd sweet flavor. We didn't use it. Cucumber was soft - threw it away. The bell pepper wasn't a red pepper as pictured, it was yellow.
We liked it, neither of us are big bell pepper fans but we did give it a try. The cucumber was too soft to use and therefore we didn't make that part of the meal. The potatoes were all in great condition and the turkey meat and buns were also very good. Favorite part? Easily the aioli. Would order another turkey burger meal, maybe not this one though.
