Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
- 2 pounds ground turkey breast
- Salt and pepper
- 1 1-inch piece of ginger, peeled and grated
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped or grated
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons chicken stock
- 2 Kaiser rolls, split and toasted
Directions
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons EVOO, about two turns of the pan.
- While the pan is heating up, in a medium size mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey with some salt and pepper and divide the meat into four portions. Shape each portion into a burger. Wash your hands after handling the raw meat.
- Sauté each burger in the hot skillet until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.
- While the burgers are cooking, in a small bowl, stir together the ginger, garlic, scallions, soy sauce and chicken stock. During the last two minutes of cooking, add the mixture to the pan and reduce, turning the burgers once the mixture has thickened to coat it.
- Serve the burgers on half of a toasted bun, pouring any remaining pan juices on top. Serve with your favorite salad or slaw alongside.
