Ingredients for Asian Spiced Turkey Burgers

  • Fresh White Breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • Green Onion
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Minced Ginger
  • Ground Turkey
  • Vegetable Oil
  • Hamburger Buns

How to Make Asian Spiced Turkey Burgers

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (you should be able to hold your hand 3-4 inches above the grates for only 3-4 seconds). Lightly oil the grill grates.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine breadcrumbs, egg, green onions, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
  3. Gently add the ground turkey and mix with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions.
  5. Gently shape each portion into a 3/4-inch thick patty.
  6. If making ahead, place patties on a plate, cover airtight, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
  7. Place patties on the preheated grill.
  8. Cook for 5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the turkey is cooked through.
  9. Transfer the cooked burgers to buns.
  10. Garnish with your favorite toppings and serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
