To keep these burgers tender, handle them as little as possible. To make the bread crumbs, whirl 2 pieces of firm-textured white bread in a food processor or blender until fine crumbs form. The following garnishes are not included in the recipe below: red-leaf lettuce leaves, hoisin sauce or Chinese mustard, and plum sauce or traditional ketchup. Prep time does not include making your own breadcrumbs.

Time 31m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup fresh white breadcrumbs
1 large egg, beaten to blend
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon minced garlic

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine bread crumbs, 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.
  • If making ahead, lay patties side by side on a plate, cover airtight, and chill up to 24 hours.
  • Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct, medium-high heat (the charcoal or gas flame is directly under the cooking area, and you can hold your hand just above grill level only 3 to 4 seconds.

  • For gas grill: When hot, brush grill with a generous coat of oil.
