How to Make Asian Turkey Burgers With Wasabi Sauce
- In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground turkey, 2 scallions (finely chopped), 1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper (any color), 1 egg white, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 2 teaspoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Shape the mixture into 6 patties, approximately 1/2 inch thick.
- Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add the turkey patties and cook for 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no longer pink inside. Add more oil as needed.
- While the burgers cook, prepare the wasabi mayo: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon prepared wasabi, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil.
- Serve the turkey burgers on toasted buns, topped with approximately 1 teaspoon of wasabi mayo per burger.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
