Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 stalks green onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 slices sliced tomato
- 4 slices sliced red onion (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, panko breadcrumbs, egg, green onions, grated ginger, soy sauce, garlic powder, and ground black pepper. Use your hands or a spoon to mix until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into burger patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Place the turkey patties in the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the patties are golden brown.
During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush each burger patty generously with teriyaki sauce, allowing it to caramelize slightly on the heat.
Toast the burger buns lightly in a separate skillet or toaster if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a teriyaki-glazed turkey patty, a slice of tomato, and any additional toppings such as red onion. Top with the upper half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Teriyaki Glazed Turkey Burgers with your favorite side dish!
