Scallion Sesame Turkey Burger
1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 cup minced scallions, white and green parts both
2-3 tablespoons minced cilantro
2 teaspoons pulverized garlic
2 tablespoons sesame oil
salt
3/4-1 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, depends on how moist the turkey is
fresh ground pepper
oil, if desired (for cooking)
- Mix together, gently, the turkey, sesame seeds, soy, scallions, cilantro, garlic, sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and bread crumbs.
- Form into patties.
- I usually mix all this together and make patties in the morning and leave in the refrigerator till I’m ready for them (sometimes that is the next day).
- Brush with a little oil before grilling if desired.
- Grill on the George Foreman, in a grill pan.
- If you’re using the outside grill increase the breadcrumbs a bit to insure they don’t fall apart.
