Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground turkey
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 Egg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 Burger buns
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 1 Tomato, sliced
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Mix the ingredients together with your hands or a spoon 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 them into burger patties about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 4

Preheat a grill, grill pan, or large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Cook the burger patties for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (73.9°C) and the burgers are browned on the outside.

Step 6

Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster, if desired.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by placing each patty onto the bottom bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, tomato slice, and a dollop of mayonnaise, if using. Cover with the top bun.

Step 8

Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as sweet potato fries or a green salad.
