Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground turkey
- 3 stalks Scallions (thinly sliced)
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Ginger (grated)
- 0.33 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
- 4 pcs Burger buns
- 4 pcs Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Sliced tomato
- 4 tbsp Mayonnaise (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, panko breadcrumbs, egg, salt, black pepper, and sesame seeds.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly with clean hands or a spatula until evenly combined. Avoid overmixing as it can make the burger tough.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2-inch thick.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly grease with a small amount of oil.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Avoid pressing the patties down while cooking to retain their juiciness.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the skillet, grill, or toaster until warm and slightly crispy.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise (if using) on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a cooked turkey patty, and a slice of tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your choice of side, such as sweet potato fries, salad, or chips.
