Move over, Greek-Flavored Turkey Burgers. There may be a new favorite in our household! While Cooking Light's recipe has been a long-time favorite of ours, but I knew from the very first bite that tonight's Thai Peanut Turkey Burgers were just as worthy of the top spot. It's no surprise we loved these, since all-things-peanut generally rate high with us. This reminded us of Thai Chicken Pizza, since it also combines the peanut flavor with carrots, cilantro, and chili, only this is a bit easier to prepare and you get to enjoy it on a bun. Genius.I found the recipe over at A Good Appetite, and made a few minor changes - basically just amounts of ground turkey, peanut butter, and ginger. I was a bit surprised that there was no cilantro in the recipe, since I always think of it as a natural compliment to the other flavors. So I made a chili-cilantro mayo to top the burgers. We enjoyed this with 5-spice roasted butternut squash fries. I have a good feeling we'll be eating these again soon since we always seem to have the ingredients around, and because they are just so delicious!

How creative! That cilantro mayo sounds like the perfect topping! Yum...those fries look amazing too!
Looks great! I'll definitely try these at some point this summer! Perfect for preparing in bulk and freezing, so we can just grab two and toss on the grill when we're too lazy to cook. :)
