PAD THAI STYLE CHICKEN BURGERS

Steps:

• Combine all your ingredients in a medium bowl until consistent in texture (the mixture will be moist).
• Heat a medium to large skillet over medium heat. Spray with non-stick spray.
• Divide the mixture into four and place each portion into the pan shaping with a spatula into a round burger that is no more than 1/2-3/4" thick (you may do this with your hands as well, I just prefer to use the spatula and keep the chicken off my hands). If you prefer a thicker burger, increase the cooking time.
• Cover with a lid and cook each side for approximately 7 minutes or until the juices run clear and the burgers reach 170 degrees.
• Serve with mayo on a fresh round roll and enjoy.

THAI STYLE BURGERS

• 2. Combine beef, peanut butter, sour cream, soy sauce, lime juice, cilantro, ginger, brown sugar, red pepper, salt and black pepper (cayenne opitonal) in a large bowl, blending well with your hands. Shape into 6 patties 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thick.
• 3. Place directly over coals, cover and grill to your desired degree of doneness, 5-7 minutes for medium rare.
• 4. Place burgers on buns and top with lettuce tomatoes and onions and BBQ sauce.
• **Chef Note: I skip #4 and like to top with my favorite Asian/Thai slaw- I have also found that a thin layer of peanut butter (as crazy as it sounds) on the bun gives it an amazing Thai flavor. Enjoy!
