Asian Turkey Burgers with Avocado and Sriracha Lime Mayonnaise
I recently made this recipe for Asian turkey burgers with avocado and sriracha lime mayonnaise that I found on Tracey’s Culinary Adventures. The turkey was juicy and tender, and it tasted great with a thick slice of tomato, avocado, and mixed greens. I think the “star of the show” was the sriracha lime mayonnaise–the flavor combination was awesome with the burger! My husband and I loved these burgers, and so did our kids. I served these turkey burgers with a cucumber salad and Asian Quinoa Salad.
Asian Turkey Burgers with Avocado and Sriracha Lime Mayonnaise
Burgers:
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ½ tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- ½ tbsp soy sauce
- ½ tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 lb ground turkey **Use ground turkey with dark & white meat, not plain ground turkey breast. The burgers will be juicy and more flavorful.
Spicy Mayonnaise:
- ¼ cup of mayonnaise
- ½-1 tsp of sriracha sauce
- Zest and juice of ½ a lime
Other Ingredients:
- 4 hamburger buns, toasted
- Tomato slices
- Mixed greens

How to Make Asian Turkey Burgers with Avocado and Sriracha Lime Mayonnaise
Make the turkey burger mixture by combining the garlic, ginger, green onions, cilantro, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and sesame oil in a large bowl and stirring to combine. Add the ground turkey and gently mix it using your hands. Divide the mixture into 6 balls, then form each into a patty.
Prepare the spicy mayonnaise by combining the mayonnaise, sriracha, lime zest, and lime juice in a bowl. Mix until well combined. Set aside.
Cook the turkey burgers by heating a large grill pan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the burgers for about 4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
To serve, place the burger on the bottom toasted bun with a bit of spicy mayonnaise on it. Top the burgers with a little more spicy mayo, tomatoes, mixed greens, and avocado, followed by the top toasted 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!
Fabulous flavors and delicious ingredients. I’ve never used sriracha but have heard about it – dying to try!

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!
Thanks Pam – fantastic recipe and totally my favorite burger especially with the avocado. I did add in a few tablespoons of hoisin sauce and some chopped water chestnuts for some crunch. Other than that great recipe. Thank you.
Brent,
I’m so glad you like this recipe. Adding the hoisin and chopped chestnuts sounds great! Thanks for taking the time to let me know.
