I don’t want to be dramatic or anything but these Ginger Soy Turkey Burgers have rocked my world.
Matt and I went to Crosby’s Kitchen on Southport (Lakeview) the other day for dinner. I ordered my typical Wrightwood Salad (which is now my go-to salad) while Matt ordered the turkey burger. I was confused because, like, who orders a turkey burger when you’re out to dinner? Turkey burgers are dry and bland! Right?!
Wrong. So, so wrong. My eyes have been opened to the greatness that is The Turkey Burger. So anyway. I took it upon myself to make a copycat version of these turkey burgers. Without further ado, I give you: Ginger Soy Turkey Burgers with a ginger-soy slaw.
I won’t keep you here any longer but when it comes down to it: you need these turkey burgers in your life. Double the recipe and freeze your leftovers for a quick weeknight dinner. Or! Grill ’em up for your next cookout and convert your red-meat loving friends.
Ginger Soy Turkey Burgers & Slaw
Ingredients
- For the burgers:
- 1-lb 93/7 ground turkey
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- For the ginger soy slaw:
- 1 package broccoli slaw
- 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp ground ginger
Instructions
Warm grill to medium heat (or 350F -- ish!)
For the ginger soy slaw: In a large bowl, whisk together all but the broccoli slaw. Once mixed, add in the broccoli slaw and toss to coat. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and refrigerate until you're ready to serve.
For the ginger soy turkey burgers: In another bowl, mix together all of the ingredients. Once well combined, form into patties. Put burgers on the grill for about 5 minutes on each side (more or less depending on thickness). While burgers are grilling, toast up your buns on the grill, as well.
Put grilled patties on their buns + top with broccoli slaw. Voila! You've got some delicious ginger soy turkey burgers.
