Name: Southeast Asian Turkey Burgers
Cook time: 40 min
Total time: 1 3/4 hr
Yield: Makes 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 fresh lemongrass stalks, root ends trimmed and 1 or 2 tough outer leaves discarded from each; 2 garlic cloves, chopped; 3 tablespoons chopped shallot; 1 tablespoon finely chopped peeled ginger; 1 (3-inch) fresh serrano or jalapeño chile, finely chopped, including seeds; 1 teaspoon water; 4 teaspoons Asian fish sauce, divided; 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey (dark meat only); 1/4 cup fresh lime juice; 1/4 cup vegetable oil; 1/2 teaspoon sugar; 1/2 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes; 4 kaiser rolls, split and grilled; 2 cups mixed fresh mint, basil, and cilantro leaves; Equipment: a mini food processor

Looking to jazz up a backyard barbecue? The bold flavors in this burger will definitely get guests talking. A paste of lemongrass, garlic, ginger, and serrano chile enlivens ground turkey, while also helping to keep it moist. If you don't have a mini food processor, don't be discouraged. It may take longer, but it's still worth the effort to finely chop the ingredients and mash them to a paste using a mortar and pestle. A spicy lime vinaigrette takes the place of traditional condiments.

Cooks' notes:

· Patties can be chilled up to 8 hours. · If you aren't able to grill outdoors, patties can be cooked in an oiled large (2-burner) ridged grill pan over medium-high heat, turning over once, until just cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes.
