Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 tsp Chinese five spice powder
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 pieces green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 1 to taste optional toppings (lettuce, tomato slices, sliced cucumbers, mayonnaise)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, Chinese five spice powder, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, chopped green onions, chopped cilantro, panko breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands or a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this may make the patties tough.
Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty about 1/2-inch thick. Use your thumb to make a shallow indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing up during cooking.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Cook the turkey patties for 4-5 minutes per side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are fully cooked through.
Toast the burger buns on the skillet or grill pan, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing each turkey patty on a toasted bun and adding optional toppings such as lettuce, tomato slices, sliced cucumbers, and mayonnaise.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Chinese Five Spice Turkey Burgers!
