Instructions

In large bowl mix the turkey, garlic, onion, panko, egg white and hoisin sauce until blended. Do not over mix. Form mixture into 6 patties; dimple each patty in the middle. Cover patties; refrigerate for 30 minutes. Reserve salt and pepper until grilling time. To prepare slaw; combine broccoli slaw, cabbage, onion, ginger, fish sauce and plum sauce in a medium bowl; stir together. Add salt and pepper, stir. Cover and refrigerate until needed. Refrigerate mayo and mint until needed.
Prepare a medium hot fire in a charcoal grill with cover or preheat a gas grill to medium high. Once medium hot heat is reached, brush grill grate with Canola oil. Salt and pepper patties then place on grill grate. Cover and cook on one side about 5-6 minutes. Turn patties and cook about 5 minutes or until juices run clear from center of patties. Just before patties are done cooking, brush cut sides of rolls with olive oil, grill until slightly brown (1-2 minutes). Transfer cooked patties and toasted rolls to a platter. Retrieve slaw mixture and add mayo, stir until coated. Add mint and stir.

To assemble, place patty on roll bottom and mound equal amounts of slaw over each patty. Cover with roll top and serve.
