Here's a taste of Vietnam in an American favorite. You'll love the fact that these burgers come together in less than half an hour and feature lean ground turkey instead of beef and English muffins instead of buns to help reduce the calories. Feel free to serve the burgers with grilled corn and peppers alongside for a marvelous meal. The slaw that tops these burgers is a little bit basic. It features slaw mix, sliced cucumbers, fresh lime juice, and a touch of salt. For some more flavor, add seasoned rice wine vinegar, minced cilantro, hot chili oil, or hot sauce (just keep in mind that this could affect the recipe's nutritional value).
