How to make Turkey Sliders with Slaw

Ingredients

• 1 small red cabbage, leaves diced
• 1 large cucumber, sliced into thin rounds
• 1 tsp sugar
• 4 Tbsp white wine vinegar
• 2 tsp olive oil
• Black pepper to taste
• 4 carrots, peeled and grated
• 2 lemongrass stalks, ends discarded, outer layer peeled and chopped
• 4 scallions, thinly sliced
• 1 large garlic clove, finely minced
• 1 lb ground turkey breast
• ¾ tsp ground cumin
• 1 Tbsp sriracha sauce
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 12 slider rolls, split

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the cabbage, cucumber, 1/2 teaspoon of the sugar, 2 tablespoons of the vinegar and the oil. Season with black pepper. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, for at least 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the carrots, remaining 1/2 teaspoon sugar, remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook for 30 seconds, or until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool for at least 10 minutes. Drain before using.
3. In a medium bowl, combine lemongrass, scallions, garlic, turkey, cumin and sriracha; season with the salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently to combine. Form turkey mixture into twelve 1/2-inch-thick patties.
4. Heat your grill to medium-high heat Brush the grates with oil or spray with nonstick spray, then cook the turkey patties for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit. (Alternately, heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in 2 batches, cook patties until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.)
5. Serve the burgers in the rolls, topped with the carrots and with slaw on the side.
