  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1½ tbsp. olive oil + more for cooking
Green Onion and Garlic Aioli
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 10 scallions
  • 5 cloves minced garlic
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar

Simple Slaw
  • 5 cups finely shredded cabbage
  • 3 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil

Instructions
  1. Start with your turkey burger patties. In a bowl mix together the ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, cilantro, and lime juice. Form them into patties and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat some olive oil and cook the patties until golden brown on each side and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
  3. To make the aioli, wipe out the same skillet and then heat an additional tbsp. of olive oil. Chop the green onions into 2-3 inch pieces and add to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes before adding the minced garlic and cooking for a few minutes more.
  4. Add the green onions and garlic to a food processor along with mayo, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Blend until smooth, then taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  5. For the slaw, add finely shredded cabbage to a large bowl along with olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
  6. To form your burgers, add the aioli to a burger bun, then add a cilantro lime turkey burger patty. Top with slaw and the top bun and enjoy!
