Ingredients:

For pickled cucumbers:
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons firmly packed light brown sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1 seedless cucumber (about 1 pound), sliced very thin

For Burgers:
2 garlic cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped peeled fresh gingerroot
1/2 cup chopped fresh coriander
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 teaspoons sugar
2 flat anchovy fillets
2 pounds ground turkey
1/4 cup fresh bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
4 sesame hamburger buns or onion rolls, split and toasted

Cooking Recipe:

Make pickled cucumbers: In a small bowl stir together all pickled cucumber ingredients except cucumber until sugar and salt are dissolved. Add cucumber, stirring to coat well, and marinate 30 minutes.

Make burgers: Prepare grill.

Into a food processor with motor running, drop garlic and gingerroot. Add coriander, mint, basil, lime juice, sugar and anchovy fillets and blend well. In a bowl mix together (combine) turkey, herb mixture, bread crumbs and cayenne and form into six 1-inch-thick patties. Season burgers with salt and pepper to taste and grill on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 6 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through.

Drain cucumbers. Transfer burgers to buns or rolls and top with pickled cucumbers.
