A healthy eating food, turkey is very lean protein which provides essential amino acids, niacin, and phosphorous. However, I confess that I sometimes get bored with turkey, so I was happy to come across today’s teriyaki version! This healthy recipe from BC Turkey Growers turns an otherwise bland burger into a spicy, tangy, and textured turkey meal. And there’s just one word for the wasabi mayonnaise: WOW!
Make 6 servings
1-1/2 lbs ground turkey
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
1/4 cup thick teriyaki sauce
3 green onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
1 tsp wasabi paste
In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, garlic, ginger, teriyaki sauce, green onions, sesame seeds and bread crumbs.Shape into 6 burger patties. Broil or grill burgers 4 – 6 inches (10 – 15cm) from broiler or over medium-hot coals for 10 12 minutes turning once. Meanwhile, mix together mayonnaise and wasabi paste; spread on 6 lightly toasted burger buns. Place cooked burgers in buns. Serve with sliced cucumber and watercress or arugula.
I’ve loved turkey burgers for a long time now and this looks delicious. I stopped eating beef recently so I will definitely try this one!
mmmm…delicious!!
