Ingredients

2 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon fresh minced ginger
1 teaspoon minced garlic
½ cup honey
½ cup tamarind concentrate (available in specialty food stores)
¼ cup water
2 tablespoon sriracha
2 tablespoon fresh lime juice
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon peeled and minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 jalapeno with seeds, minced
½ cup thinly sliced scallions, white and about 1 inch of the green parts
2½ pound ground turkey, ½ white, ½ dark meat
garnish with walter white’s infamous blue cheese, tomatoes, and onions

Directions

Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and garlic and sauté for 2 minutes.
Add the honey, tamarind concentrate, water, and sriracha, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and reduced to about 1 cup, stirring often for about 8 minutes.
Let the glaze cool completely then mix in the lime juice.
Mix together mayonnaise, ginger, cilantro, salt, pepper, cumin, jalapeño, and 4 teaspoons of the glaze in a large mixing bowl, then mix in the scallions.
Add the ground turkey and mix well but loosely with the mayonnaise mixture; do not overwork.
Shape the turkey into eight ½-inch thick patties.
Grill the rolls cut side down until golden, about 2 minutes; transfer them to a serving platter.
Grill the burgers on grill pan over medium-high heat until cooked through and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 160 degrees, about 8 minutes on each side.
Brush each burger with the remaining glaze and serve with garnishes and a spread of your choice.
