1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot, garlic and jalapeño and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
2. In a large bowl, combine turkey, salt, Hoisin sauce, green onion, cilantro and lime juice. Place in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to marry.
3. Meanwhile, combine slaw ingredients in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and sweet chili sauce.
4. Coat a griddle or large skillet with cooking spray and turn heat to medium. Shape the meat mixture into 8 patties and cook 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
5. To serve, spread each bun half with the yogurt mixture. Top one half with a burger, 2-3 slices cucumber, a scoop of slaw and the other bun half. Repeat with the remaining burgers.
