Thai Lettuce Wrap Burgers with Peanut Sauce

I am a huge fan of flavored burgers with gourmet sauces. These Thai burgers taste amazing alone and even better over bibb lettuce when topped with red onions, cucumbers, and an insanely delicious peanut butter sauce.

Ingredients:

Burgers-

1 pound ground turkey or chicken

½ cup diced carrots

1/2 shallot diced

Peanut Sauce-

¼ cup peanut butter

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 tablespoon fish sauce

1 Kirby cucumber thinly sliced

½ small red onion diced

Bibb lettuce or other large lettuce to use as a wrap

Directions:

1. Spray a nonstick pan with olive oil spray.  Add carrots and shallot.  Cook on medium heat for 5 minutes to soften.
2. Add ground meat to a large bowl.  Break up large chunks.
3. Add cooked carrots and shallots to the ground meat.  Mix to combine.
4. Add tahini to meat mixture.  Mix.
5. Divide meat into 4 mounds.  Press into 4 patties.
6. Grill on high heat for 5 minutes per side.
7. Peanut Sauce- Add peanut butter, lime juice, fish sauce to a small bowl.  Add 1 tablespoon warm water.  Whisk to combine.
