Bánh mì is a popular Vietnamese sandwich featuring a savory combination of meats and vegetables served on a baguette. BJ's new Banh Mi Turkey Burger is a hearty take on this iconic sandwich. As part of the Enlightened Entrees menu, the new Banh Mi Turkey Burger combines an all-white-meat turkey patty with jalapeños, pickled vegetables, wasabi guacamole, lettuce, cilantro, and a [sweet sriracha crema](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoked-cheddar-bourbon-club) on a toasted parker house bun. The result is an Asian-inspired sandwich that's just as filling as your average burger. The new Banh Mi Turkey Burger is also joined by the goat cheese-topped Bistro Burger and the new [Mushroom Swiss Burger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-mushroom-bacon-burger), which features a roasted garlic aioli.
