garlic paste, chili powder, cumin, Tabasco, and salt and pepper to taste until
sauce is smooth.
- In a large bowl stir together turkey, onion, bread crumbs, and 1/4 cup sauce
until combined well and form into six 3/4-inch-thick patties. Burgers may be
prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.

burgers on the grill and half for drizzling on cooked burgers. Chill sauce,
covered.
Make cole slaw:
- In a large bowl whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and mustard.
- Add remaining cole slaw ingredients and salt and pepper to taste and toss to
combine well. Cole slaw may be made 4 hours ahead and chilled, covered.

- Grill burgers on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals,
brushing frequently with barbecue sauce, 6 minutes on each side, checking for
doneness with the Cook'd Right® Sensor.

b) Remove sensor tip and check color.
c) Continue checking with the same sensor until done.
d) Discard sensor when finished.
