If you poke a hole in the middle of hamburger patties when shaping them the burgers will cook faster and the holes will disappear during the cooking process.

Servings: 4 • Prep and cook time: 35 minutes
[edit] Ingredients
- 2 slices firm-texture white bread
- 1 large egg, beaten to blend
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
|
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 1/4 lb. ground turkey (not extra lean)
- 4 large potato hamburger buns or giant wheat hamburger buns
|
[edit] Directions
- Whirl bread in a food processor or blender until fine crumbs form.
- Pour bread crumbs into a bowl and combine with egg, green onions, soy sauce, garlic and ginger.
- Add turkey and gently mix with a fork just until ingredients are evenly blended.
- Divide turkey mixture into 4 equal portions. With your hands, shape each portion into a 3/4‑inch-thick patty.
- Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for direct, medium-high heat. (You can hold your hand 1 to 2 inches above the cooking rate for 3 to 4 seconds.) Place burgers on well-oiled cooking grate; cover gas grill. Cook, turning once with a wide spatula, until meat is opaque in center (cut to test), about 10 minutes total.
- During the last minute of cooking time, place buns with cut sides down next to burgers and cook until toasted.
- Transfer buns to a platter, tuck burgers inside, and garnish to taste.
[edit] Garnishes
- red leaf lettuce leaves
- hoisin sauce
- Chinese mustard
