- 1 tablespoon sesame oil

- Your choice of oil, for frying (or grill)
- 6 low-FODMAP, gluten-free burger buns, rolls or thickly sliced bread
- I like UDI’s hamburger buns
Directions
Note: I start with the Asian slaw so it has time to marinate
For the low-FODMAP Asian slaw:
- In a small bowl, mix together the rice vinegar, canola or olive oil, garlic- infused olive oil, sugar, sesame oil, corn syrup, ginger, lime juice, salt and red pepper flakes
- Cover and refrigerate, at least an hour or overnight
- At least 30 minutes before serving, place the cabbage and carrots in a large bowl and pour the dressing over the coleslaw
- Add the cilantro, and toss
For low-FODMAP Turkey Burgers
- In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients for the burgers thoroughly
- Pat the mixture into 6 large patties of equal thickness
- Heat grill to medium, or place a large saucepan over stovetop set to medium-high and add desired oil
- Place burgers on heated grill or skillet and cook thoroughly, turning occasionally
- If concerns about outside burning, turn heat to low and cover to completely cook the inside of the burger
- Cooking time will vary but around 10 minutes
- Serve topped with low-FODMAP Asian Coleslaw or your choice of condiments
- Pick tomatoes, lettuce, low-FODMAP Pickles and low-FODMAP Special/Secret sauce with these…
- This low-FODMAP Juicy Turkey Burger with Asian Slaw tastes as good as you think it does. All those flavors combine to make it absolutely incredible. Add low-FODMAP Potato Chips, french fries or low-FODMAP Grilled Vegetables for a perfect meal.

Amazing!! No need for a bun even, the burgers are delish just with the coleslaw!

We hope you love these! Give them a try and let us know what you think 🙂
I DEFINITELY will! ?
I am new to FODMAP and this is my first week of trying recipes. This one was incredible! I didn’t feel like I was eliminating or going without. I feel like this was reminiscent of the fun recipes I did “pre-FODMAP.” It’s so wonderful to find delicious recipes like this that I can make and enjoy without my stomach suffering later. Can’t wait to make this again! P.S . I Layered mine–1 piece of toasted sourdough, burger patty, slaw. It was beautiful and delicious. The only down side was that I ate more than I should have (tee hee)

These are my favourite turkey burgers. I usually quadruple the recipe and cook them all. Then I freeze on a baking sheet and after that I put them in a freezer bag. Whenever I want one I pop it out and heat it up in the microwave. They are still moist after after all of that. Thanks for the recipe!
Hi Nicky,
We love this feedback! Thank you so much for posting 🙂
Deliciously different from our usual burgers
I was ready to try something new to christen our new grill. These recipes fit the bill. I made four patties, rather than six, but otherwise made both recipes as written. The patties stuck to the grill but kept their shape. I thought that might be a problem since the turkey was so lean. We weren’t sure about the grill temp to use. Tried 425 F to start but turned it down to 350-375 ish. They cooked very quickly.
Did not bother with add ons other than lettuce and the buns. We put some Asian slaw on the burgers but also had more on the side. It was all delicious.
Jane,
That sounds fantastic! Grilling is tricky because grills heat up somewhat differently, and turkey burgers can sometimes stick. I am so glad the recipe was a hit!
Please stay in touch and happy summer-
Rachel
