  1. In a mixing bowl, gently combine the ground turkey with sweet chili sauce, minced garlic, finely chopped shallot, fish sauce (or soy sauce), freshly squeezed lime juice, chopped cilantro, grated ginger, black pepper, and salt.
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty with a slight indentation in the center.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375°F to 400°F) and ensure the grill grates are well-oiled.
  4. Place the patties on the hot grill, cooking for about 5-7 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. Toast the whole wheat burger buns on the grill for a minute or two, then assemble with lettuce, turkey patty, cucumber, red onion, and drizzle with sweet chili sauce.
