Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground turkey
• 3 stalks Scallions (thinly sliced)
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp Ginger (grated)
• 0.33 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
• 4 pcs Burger buns
• 4 pcs Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Sliced tomato
• 4 tbsp Mayonnaise (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Mix the ingredients thoroughly with clean hands or a spatula until evenly combined. Avoid overmixing as it can make the burger tough.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly grease with a small amount of oil.

Step 5

Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Avoid pressing the patties down while cooking to retain their juiciness.

Step 6

While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the skillet, grill, or toaster until warm and slightly crispy.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers: Spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise (if using) on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a cooked turkey patty, and a slice of tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your choice of side, such as sweet potato fries, salad, or chips.
