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.
