Instructions
Before you begin:
- Prepare your burger toppings before you begin making the turkey burgers. The pickled red onion, cucumbers and avocado will need 30 minutes to become delicious toppings.
Make Gochujang Mayo
- Whisk together mayo, gochujang paste, salt, pepper and lime juice in a small bowl; Set aside.
- Turkey Burger
- Combine turkey, panko, cheese, mayonnaise, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in bowl. Using your hands, pat turkey mixture into four ¾-inch-thick patties, about 4 inches in diameter. Season patties with salt and pepper.
- Place oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet and set aside. Transfer patties directly to cold, prepared skillet and repeat. Heat skillet over medium heat. When patties start to sizzle, cover skillet and cook until patties are well-browned on bottom, about 2½ minutes (if patties are not browned after 2½ minutes, increase heat). Carefully flip patties, cover, and continue to cook until second side is well browned, and burgers register 160 degrees, 2½ to 3 minutes longer.
- Transfer burgers to plate and let rest for 5 minutes. Toasted buns with some olive oil under broiler.
- To assemble burgers, spread gochujang sauce on bottom of bun. Now create a layer of avocado pickles and cucumber. Add the turkey burger patty and stack on some pickled red onion. Drizzle top with a bit more sauce. Top with the bun, pressing gently to keep everything in place. Serve immediately.
