Easy Asian Turkey Burgers - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
20 ounces ground turkey breast
1 egg
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon minced garlic clove (I use the kind pre-minced in a jar.)
3 -4 tablespoons red onions, minced
1/2 - 1 teaspoon ground ginger (according to your tastes)
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce (more if you like)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Preparation
-
Start by putting the ground turkey in a large bowl.
Crack egg into the same bowl and scramble with a fork before mixing in the bread crumbs, garlic, onions, ground ginger, and soy sauce.
Mix together with a fork until just combined. Don't over-mix.
Form into 6 patties (I start with a 1/3 dry measuring cup and adjust the sizes from there).
At this point the burgers are ready for the grill OR the freezer.
TO GRILL:.
Grill about 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through (no pink in the middle). Will take less time if using a George Forman Grill.
Top with sauteed red onions if desired.
Serve on toasted/grilled sandwich thins.
TO FREEZE:.
After forming patties, arrange burgers on a cookie sheet and freeze.
Once solid, individually wrap the burgers in sandwich baggies.
Place baggies in a larger zip lock freezer bag or an air tight container.
Thaw before cooking.
