Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 Burger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 1 Tomato, sliced
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, chopped green onions, sesame oil, panko breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients together with your hands or a spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the burgers tough.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 1/2 inch thick.
Preheat a grill, grill pan, or large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
Cook the burger patties for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (73.9°C) and the burgers are browned on the outside.
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing each patty onto the bottom bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, tomato slice, and a dollop of mayonnaise, if using. Cover with the top bun.
Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as sweet potato fries or a green salad.
