Ingredients
Sriracha Mayo:
- 1/3 cup homemade paleo mayo or store bought paleo mayo, like Primal Kitchen or Sir Kensington's
- 2-3 teaspoons Paleo friendly sriracha sauce (e.g. Yellowbird)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Burgers:
- 1 lb ground turkey (not too lean)
- 1/2 small red onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon paleo friendly sriracha sauce
- 2 teaspoons coconut aminos
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- Avocado oil or nonstick cooking spray (for cooking)
Slaw:
- 2 cups slaw mix
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Make the sriracha mayo: In a medium bowl, whisk together paleo mayo, sriracha sauce, minced garlic, fresh lime juice, and sesame oil until smooth. Set aside or refrigerate covered up to one day ahead.
- Prepare the burger mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, diced red onion, minced cilantro, ground ginger, garlic powder, paleo sriracha sauce, coconut aminos, and sea salt. Mix thoroughly. If mixture feels sticky, slightly wet your hands before shaping.
- Heat cooking surface: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush with avocado oil or spray with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Form and cook patties: Using slightly wet hands, shape the turkey mixture into 5-6 patties. Place patties on the grill or skillet and cook each side for about 3 minutes or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Transfer cooked patties to a plate.
- Prepare the slaw: In a bowl, toss the slaw mix with sliced scallions, lime juice, avocado or olive oil, and season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve: Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on iceberg lettuce leaves for keto or Whole30 compliance, topping with sriracha mayo and a generous helping of slaw. Alternatively, serve on paleo or gluten free buns. Enjoy immediately.
Notes

- To reduce stickiness when shaping patties, slightly wet your hands.
