Teriyaki Turkey Burgers

I made these for the second time last night, and they keep getting better and better! They turn out really flavorful, and are super easy. I omit the cilantro and scallions in the mix, but add about 1 cup chopped white onion. Delish! Let me know if you try it out and what you think. Happy eating!

These sesame-teriyaki burgers are super flavorful — even more so when topped with grilled scallions.

Ingredients

	1 1/4 pound(s) lean ground turkey
	1 Tbsp ginger root, fresh, finely chopped
	1 Tbsp minced garlic
	1 tsp sesame oil
	1/4 cup(s) teriyaki sauce
	1/4 cup(s) scallion(s), chopped
	2 Tbsp cilantro, fresh, finely chopped
	1 large egg white(s)
	2 spray(s) cooking spray
	8 medium scallion(s), root ends trimmed
	4 item(s) reduced-calorie hamburger roll(s)

Instructions

• Preheat a grill (or grill pan) to medium-high.
  
• In a large bowl, combine turkey, ginger, garlic, oil, teriyaki sauce, scallions, cilantro and egg white; mix until just combined. Make four burgers, about 3/4-inch-thick each.
  
• Offheat, coat both sides of burgers with cooking spray.
  
• Grill burgers, flipping once, until fully cooked, about 5 to 7 minutes per side. A few minutes before burgers are done, place whole scallions on center of grill and cook, turning once, until bright green and charred, about 2 minutes.
  
• Remove burgers and scallions to a plate; lightly toast rolls on grill. Serve each burger on a roll topped with 2 scallions. Yields 1 burger per serving.
