Make burgers with the Food Network magazine chef team. The patty is half turkey, half bulgur. This lightens the meat without sacrificing flavor or texture. Hoisin sauce, ginger, garlic, and cilantro add a stunning Asian flavor. Pan-fry the patties and serve on whole-grain buns smothered in a tangy yogurt sauce, with quick-pickled cucumbers and onions. They further enhance the patty's exotic flavor and make the whole burger juicy and complete.

"We've lightened up these burgers by reducing the amount of meat and adding a bit of texture with bulgur. The patty's delicious Asian flavor, lightly pickled cucumbers and onions, and tangy yogurt sauce tie everything together."

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Place the bulgur in a bowl and add boiling water. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand until the bulgur is tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix the vinegar and sugar with a generous pinch of salt and pepper until completely dissolved. Add the cucumber and onion, mix well, and let marinate for about 30 minutes.

  3. In a separate small bowl, combine the yogurt and chili garlic sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Drain the bulgur and place it in a large bowl. Add the ground turkey, hoisin, onion, ginger, garlic, and chopped cilantro and mix until smooth. Form into 4 equal-sized patties.
  5. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Lightly coat both sides of each patty with vegetable oil and place them in the skillet. Cook, turning once, until cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side.
  6. Drain the marinated vegetables and add all the cilantro. Spread the hot yogurt sauce on the top and bottom halves of each bun and place a patty and pickle in the middle.
