How to cook deliciously - Banh Mi Turkey Burgers

1 . Stage

Make the pickled vegetables. In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, carrot, jalapeño slices and 1 tablespoon salt. Add vinegar, water, and 1 tbsp. sugar. Mix until combined and chill until ready to serve.

2 . Stage

Prepare the turkey burgers. In a medium bowl combine the turkey, 1 tablespoon of Sriracha, cornstarch, fish sauce, remaining 1 tsp. sugar, garlic and scallions. Be careful not to overmix. Season meat with salt and pepper. Divide the mixture into four equal patties.

3 . Stage

Cook the burgers. Heat sesame oil (or vegetable oil) in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the burgers, flipping once, until cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. If the bottom of the burgers start to brown too much, add a splash of water to the pan and cover.

To serve, top each brioche bun with a burger patty, a generous slathering of spicy mayo and a scoopful of pickled vegetables. Garnish with cilantro leaves, if desired.
