Hawaiian Turkey Burgers



Low fat and very yummy! This recipe may make more burgers than you need, but they refrigerate well for 2-3 days and taste even better when re-heated.

Ingredients:

° 2lbs of ground turkey breast
° ½ Teaspoon ground ginger
° 2 Tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
° 2 cloves of garlic (the jarred kind is easier to work with and mix)
° 2 green onions chopped finely (or you may use jar of chives from the seasoning section of the grocery store)
° ½ Cup Hoisin sauce for basting.
° 1-2 Tablespoons of Hoisin sauce in the turkey mix.
° 2 Teaspoons sesame oil
° hamburger buns
° (optional) 1 egg or 1-2 handfuls of bread crumbs (to make the turkey patties more fluffy and absorbent)
° Pineapple (optional, to put on top of patty when served)

Mix by hand: turkey, ginger, soy sauce, garlic, 1-2 tablespoons of Hoisin sauce and chives(if desired) and bread crumbs or an egg (both optional).

Mix in small bowl: ½ cup of Hoisin sauce and 2 Teaspoons of sesame oil (for basting the patties as they cook).

Form into patties and cook 5 minutes on each side on George Foreman grill or outdoor grill over medium heat.

As patties cook, baste with Hoisin and Sesame oil mixture. Flip and repeat to baste both sides thoroughly. You can always make more mixture for basting, the more you add, the sweeter it is.

Serve on wheat or white hamburger buns and top with pineapple (if desired). I like to add a little bit of Hoisin sauce on top of the patty for extra flavor.


Servings: 8 patties depending on how big you make them

Time to make: 20 min
