Chipotle BBQ Burgers with Slaw

It's grilling time! It seems that last summer, we didn't use our grill that much and I love doing meals on the grill. I hope to find more grilling recipes this year and take advantage of the nice weather and eat outside.

I'm not much of a beef eater so I try to substitute turkey a lot. I've tried turkey burgers before but it was always bland and too dry tasting. This recipe was originally a beef recipe. You can find the original here. But I think this one is good with turkey as long as you don't overcook them. I changed some things on the slaw part. I didn't think the original recipe had enough. I like to serve them with sweet potato chips or seasoned sweet potato fries.

Chipotle BBQ Burgers with Slaw

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

2 T barbecue sauce

1 T chopped chipotle chiles, canned in adobo sauce

2 cloves garlic, minced

20 oz package lean ground turkey

1 large egg

4 cups cabbage-and-carrot coleslaw

3 T reduced-fat mayonnaise

3 T reduced-fat sour cream

2 tsp sugar

2 tsp cider vinegar

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

5 hamburger buns

Combine first 6 ingredients. Divide mixture into 5 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty.

Heat a grill to medium-high heat. Grill patties until no longer pink inside.

Combine coleslaw and next 6 ingredients (through pepper) in a large bowl; toss well. Place 1 patty on bottom half of each bun; top each serving with 1/2 cup coleslaw mixture and top half of bun.
