Ingredients

2 spray(s) cooking spray

1 cup(s) packaged coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)

1/4 cup(s) English cucumber(s), julienned or sliced super thin

1 Tbsp fresh lime juice, or to taste

1/4 tsp kosher salt

1 pound(s) uncooked 93% lean ground turkey

2 Tbsp cilantro, fresh, finely chopped

1 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce

1 Tbsp ginger root, grated or finely chopped

2 clove(s) (medium) garlic clove(s), finely chopped

4 tsp reduced-calorie mayonnaise

1 tsp chili sauce, sweet variety

4 item(s) light, English muffin, toasted

Instructions

Coat a large griddle, outdoor grill rack or stovetop grill pan with cooking spray; preheat to medium-high.
In a medium bowl, combine slaw mix, cucumber, lime juice and salt; toss to coat and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine turkey, cilantro, soy sauce, ginger and garlic; divide mixture into four balls and then gently press each one into a 4-inch patty.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and chili sauce.
Grill or broil patties until internal temperature of burgers reaches 165°F, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
Spread half of each English muffin with 1 1/4 teaspoon chili-mayonnaise; top with a burger, a scant 1/3 cup slaw mixture and a muffin top. Yields 1 burger per serving.

Notes

The slaw that tops these burgers is quite basic. For added flavor, add some seasoned rice wine vinegar, minced cilantro, hot chili oil or hot sauce (could affect PointsPlus value).

This was a hit for my whole family. The burgers themselves are flavorful and juicy. The slaw adds a fresh, crisp bite and the spicey mayo is the perfect topping. These were delicious. I will definitely be making them again.

Great flavor and stays moist. Just don't over cook it and let it rest for 5 min. The fresh ginger adds some nice flavor. I added extra cilantro and rice vinager to the slaw. I didn't have any chili sauce so I used sirachi for some heat. Very filling. I froze the extra patties. You could serve over rice or just on top of slaw and save the 3 point for the english muffin. I will be making this again.

These burgers were AMAZING! Very flavorful! I added a bit of rice vinegar and chili sauce to the slaw like the notes said and it added a fantastic kick. I will make these again and again! I was very impressed.
