CHEF JOHN'S CHICKEN SATAY BURGER

Steps:

• Combine peanut butter, lime juice, and 1 teaspoon Asian chile pepper sauce in a small bowl; stir until thoroughly combined.
• Mix carrot, cucumber, and jalapeno pepper in a bowl; stir in fish sauce and rice vinegar. Set aside.
• Mix garlic, coconut milk, cumin, turmeric, and 1 teaspoon Asian chile pepper sauce in a bowl. Add bread crumbs and soy sauce to the mixture. Stir in ground chicken and basil until thoroughly combined. Mixture will be soft.
• Break off a small piece of chicken mixture and fry in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until chicken is browned and no longer pink. Taste the little cooked piece and season the raw chicken mixture to taste with salt and cayenne pepper. Do not eat raw chicken mix.
• Spoon 1/4 the chicken mixture into skillet, forming it into a patty shape, and cook until bottom of patty is browned, about 5 minutes. Flip patty and cook until other side is browned and chicken mixture is no longer pink inside, about 5 more minutes. Repeat with remaining chicken to make 3 more patties.
• Spread about 1 teaspoon of peanut spread onto each bun half; top bun bottoms with a chicken patty, about 1/4 cup of the carrot slaw, and 1 tablespoon of cilantro leaves. Place tops of buns on burgers to serve.

BAKED SATAY BURGERS

Steps:

• Divide chicken into 4 equal portions; gently pat each portion into burger-shaped patty, handling the meat as little as possible. Place patties in large resealable food-storage plastic bag.
• In small bowl, stir marinade ingredients with whisk. Pour marinade over patties. Seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to marinate.
• Meanwhile, in another small bowl, mix sauce ingredients. Cover; refrigerate until serving time.
• Heat oven to 375°F. Line cookie sheet with nonstick foil (or line with regular foil and spray the foil with cooking spray). Remove patties from marinade; place on cookie sheet. Bake 30 minutes, turning once, until meat thermometer inserted in center of patties reads at least 165°F.
• Serve burgers on flatbreads with lettuce. Drizzle with sauce.

SOUTHEAST ASIAN STYLE TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Combine the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring, over high heat. Set aside to cool. In a medium bowl, combine the turkey, fresh coriander, peanut butter, fish sauce, chile sauce, lemongrass, citrus zests, lime juice, ginger, garlic, and salt. Mix with a fork until thoroughly combined. Form into 4 patties, each about 1/2-inch thick.
• Heat a stove top grill pan or out-door grill to medium-high heat. Grill the burgers until just cooked through, about 4 1/2 minutes per side. Brush both sides with the glaze. Serve on a bun garnished with sprouts and scallions. Drizzle with more glaze if desired.
