Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground turkey
• 0.33 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Teriyaki sauce
• 2 stalks Green onion
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 4 pieces Sliced pineapple rings (optional)
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Chop the green onions finely and add them to the bowl.

Step 3

Mix all the ingredients together with your hands or a spoon until well-combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Cook the patties for 4–5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the patties are cooked through.

Step 7

If desired, toast the burger buns on the grill or in the skillet for 1–2 minutes until golden.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a turkey patty. Add a pineapple ring on top for a tropical touch, and spread a dollop of mayonnaise on the top bun if using.

Step 9

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