Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha or chili sauce (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)
• 4 pieces burger buns or lettuce wraps (optional, for serving)
• 0 optional toppings (e.g., sliced cucumber, sliced red onion, mayonnaise, or hoisin sauce)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, panko breadcrumbs, egg, Sriracha (if using), salt, and pepper.

Step 2

Using your hands or a spoon, gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the burgers tough.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and allow it to heat up.

Step 5

Carefully add the turkey patties to the pan, being sure not to overcrowd. Cook for 4–5 minutes on the first side, or until the bottom is golden brown and the edges are set.

Step 6

Flip the patties and cook for another 4–6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the patties are fully cooked through.

Step 7

Remove the patties from the pan and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve the turkey burgers on burger buns or lettuce wraps with your choice of toppings, such as sliced cucumber, red onion, mayonnaise, or hoisin sauce. Pair with a side salad or sweet potato fries for a complete meal!
