Top Tip💡
Save time making this Asian Turkey Burger recipe by using prepackaged broccoli slaw mix for the topping. That way, you don’t have to waste time cutting or prepping ingredients needed for the slaw.
Substitutions
- Beef burger – If you really wanted to have a beef burger, you could swap it out and use a beef burger. I like to use ground turkey because it’s less fat.
Variations
- Toppings – There are so many different toppings that you can add to these Asian turkey burgers. You can add tomato slices, sriracha mayo, diced bell peppers, butter lettuce, diced onions, and more. This can be in addition to the slaw mix, or to replace it.

Equipment
All you need to make these flavorful burgers is a large bowl, an instant-read thermometer, a large skillet, and a spatula.
Storage
Leftover turkey burgers are perfect for meal prep! I like to make a batch of these burgers, and then have them to eat throughout the week. You can store the cooked burgers in an airtight container and be sure to keep them refrigerated.
You can also freeze turkey burgers for later!
Common Questions
What to serve with Asian Turkey Burgers?
These are really a meal all on their own! Some great side options are keto fries, a green salad with extra Asian dressing (just double the dressing that goes with the broccoli slaw), or even keto cauliflower mash. You can also serve with French fries or sweet potato fries.
What is the best way to patty burgers without making a mess?
The key to making burger patties without a big mess is to have slightly damp hands. That way, the lean ground turkey mixture doesn’t stick to your hands while you’re making the patties. I also clean my hands with a paper towel once I feel like they’re starting to get a little bit sticky.
Can I patty burgers ahead of time?
If you like to meal prep, you can patty burgers and layer them in a single layer with some plastic wrap between each layer.
How do I stop burgers from shrinking when cooking them?
Make an indentation with your finger in the center of each patty. The indentation shouldn’t go all the way through the burger, just a little dent to help the patties not shrivel. As you’re cooking the patties in the large non-stick skillet, this small dent will help them not to shrink, keeping them close to the size that they were pattied as.
