In my voyage to healthier eating, I have started using ground turkey instead of beef. In doing so... I had to make it tasty too. I do not use salt. For those that choose to season, well, that's on you. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs uncooked ground turkey |
1/2 cup chopped scallion |
1/4 cup breadcrumbs |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger |
4 teaspoons finely chopped garlic |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1/2 cup fresh orange juice |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 tablespoon dairy-free margarine |
1/2 tablespoon grated fresh ginger |
1 teaspoon chopped garlic |
1/2 teaspoon chopped lemon basil |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine ground turkey, scallions, bread crumbs, 1 TB of the soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix well.
2. Divide turkey mixture into 8 equal portion . Shape into patties.
3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot.
4. For the sauce, in a small saucepan combine orange juice, lemon juice, and the remaining 1 TB soy sauce. Let bubble until reduced by half.
5. Add 4 of the patties and cook for 7 to 8 minutes. Turn patties over and cook another 8 minutes or until done (165 degrees F). Repeat with remaining 4 patties. Keep the first batch warm in a warm oven.
6. Whisk in the margarine & lemon basil to sauce. Pour over burgers.
7. Serve with rice.
