Thai-Style Turkey Burgers

Plus, who doesn’t like burgers?

Ingredients

Patties

1 large egg

2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce or tamari

1/3 cup fresh cilantro, minced

1/4 cup scallions, thinly sliced

1 1/2 tbsp fresh ginger, minced

2 garlic cloves, minced

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 lb ground turkey

1/3 cup dried breadcrumbs (regular or Italian seasoned, not panko)

Toppings

4 hamburger buns

Thinly sliced red onion, for serving

Shredded napa cabbage, for serving

Fresh cilantro, for serving

Fresh spinach, for serving

Quick-pickled vegetables (carrots, daikon, or cucumber), for serving

Preparation

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg and soy sauce. Stir in the cilantro, scallions, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the turkey and breadcrumbs and mix gently with your hands until just combined — do not overmix or the patties will be dense. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into patties about 3/4-inch thick.

2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook, covered, turning once halfway through, until a thermometer inserted into the center reads 165°F, 12–15 minutes. Serve on buns with red onion, napa cabbage, fresh cilantro, spinach, and the pickled vegetables.
