I haven’t been able to get enough of Thai flavors lately. Ever since I fell in love with this Spicy Peanut Dipping Sauce I’ve been looking for new ways to use it. As amazing as the taste of that sauce is, it takes a back seat here to the rockstar combo of sweet grilled pineapple and moist, spicy turkey.
Adding shredded carrots to my turkey burgers is a tip I picked up from Gina over at Skinny Taste and I’ll never go back. The result is so moist and much more flavorful than plain ground turkey. The patties are a bit delicate, though, and won’t hold together on the grill so if you’re cooking outside use a grill-friendly skillet.
We like things spicy but if you have a more sensitive palate, back off the Sriracha and find the right balance for your tastebuds.
We served these with sweet potato fries and our new favorite sweet potato fry dipping sauce: equal parts real maple syrup and adobo sauce from a can of chipotles. Yum! This meal is all about sweet and spicy combo.
