Asian Turkey Burgers with Avocado and Sriracha Lime Mayonnaise
Amazing. These turkey burgers are SO TASTY! I found this recipe on Tracey’s Culinary Adventures. The turkey was juicy and tender and it tasted great with a thick slice of tomato and avocado along with mixed greens. I think one of the main stars of the show was the sriracha lime mayonnaise–the flavor combination was awesome with the burger! My husband really loved these burgers and the kids thought they were pretty good too. I served them with a cucumber salad and Asian Quinoa Salad for a delicious and healthy meal.
Side Note: Make sure to use ground turkey with dark & white meat, not plain ground turkey breast. The burgers will be juicy and more flavorful.
How to Make Asian Turkey Burgers with Avocado and Sriracha Lime Mayonnaise
Combine the garlic, ginger, green onions, cilantro, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and sesame oil in a large bowl and stir to combine. Add the ground turkey and use your hands to gently mix. Divide the mixture into 6 balls then form each one into a patty.
Prepare the sriracha lime mayonnaise by combining the mayonnaise, sriracha, lime zest, and lime juice together in a bowl. Mix until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a large grill pan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Cook the burgers for about 4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
Place the burger on a bun with a bit of spicy mayonnaise on it. Top the burgers with a little more of the spicy mayo, tomatoes, mixed greens, and avocado followed by the other bun. Serve immediately. Enjoy.

Pam these burgers look really amazing and I will try this recipe!
We have a new grill this summer and I’ve never made turkey burgers, these look great!!
Never see ground turkey here for sale but I can always do my own. I will try the burgers and serve them with some salad instead of the buns, we do not eat a lot of bread except French baguettes 🙂 Have a good weekend Diane
These burgers would be a great addition to a backyard summer cookout!
Nice looking burger and I like the sound of the mayo.
I love burgers!
Everything is better with Srircha lime mayo!!!! YUM!!
Oh man, Pam! These look absolutely mouthwatering. I love the idea of a sriracha mayo and heaps of avocado. Thanks for sharing!
What a great way to get healthy food into burger lovers!
Such an amazing and creative recipe !
Wow these look like something I would LOVE. I love mayo and I really love flavored mayos. I am pinning this one!
Sounds good to me!
I adore the healthy elements in this mouthwatering burger!
Have a wonderful weekend, Pam!

Yum! I love how you kicked these turkey burgers up!!
Nice burger.
Turkey burgers need lots of seasonings and you did it perfectly!
Have a great weekend
Great idea for ground turkey, Pam!! I love your spicy mayonnaise, as well!! Have a great weekend!
I loved the idea of these flavors when I saw them on Tracey’s site also! Such a fun twist on a burger.
I’m usually not a mayonnaise person, but these are making me rethink that:)
These turkey burgers sound wonderful, I love the spicy mayonnaise on them.
These sound so perfect for a summer evening!!
all it takes to get me interested in something like this is the presence of cilantro. the other ingredients are pretty swell too. 🙂
Made these for dinner Sunday night. So easy and extremely flavorful. Your blog has become my go to source for dinner/meal inspiration at least once a week ( if not more).
I’m thinking that Sriracha lime mayo would go so great with a plethora of other foods too.
These were great! I realized I did not have any mayo, so I just used sriracha and it was very good. Will definitely make again. Husband loved them too…..and he was very skeptical of turkey burgers.
I don’t know how I stumbled upon this website BUT I made these burgers for dinner last night and they were out-of-this-world good! I omitted the green onion and sesame oil from the turkey burger mixture because I didn’t have either and the patties were still bursting with flavor. Thank you!
