Step 1

Preheat grill to medium-high. ( See notes to pan-sear or air fry)

Step 2

Combine all the burger ingredients in a medium bowl using a fork, breaking apart the ground turkey. Using a wet hand, knead until mixed well. It will feel very tender. With damp hands, shape into 3-4 burgers, compressing and tidying up the edges. Place on a plate in the fridge until ready to grill.

Step 3

Toss the Asian slaw ingredients together in a medium bowl. (You could do this up to a day ahead).

Step 4

Mix the spicy aioli ingredients together in a small bowl. ( You could make this up to 3 days ahead)

Step 5

Grill patties on a well-greased, pre-heated grill 4-5 minutes each side until golden and cooked through to 160F. (They will continue to cook to a perfect 165F).
