A delicious, juicy turkey burger; the glaze adds a wonderful sweet & salty flavour and a beautiful shine. This recipe is originally from Real Foods Magazine and I found it on a blog called A Good Appetite . Ingredients:
1/2-3/4 lb ground turkey |
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced |
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced |
1 tablespoon chopped spring onion, white part only (or scallion) |
1/2 teaspoon honey |
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce |
2 tablespoons well-beaten eggs |
1 teaspoon cornstarch |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1/4 cup mirin (or regular sherry & a tsp. of sugar) or 1/4 cup sweet sherry (or regular sherry & a tsp. of sugar) |
1/4 cup soy sauce |
1 tablespoon maple syrup |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 teaspoon cornstarch |
1 tablespoon cold water |
6 spring onions, trimmed & cut to about 8-inches long |
1/4 cup mayonnaise |
Directions:
1. GLAZE: In a small saucepan bring the Mirin, soy sauce, maple syrup, brown sugar, ginger & lemon juice to a boil. Mix the cornstarch & water together to dissolve the cornstarch. Stir into the boiling mixture. Let boil for about 15 minutes, until thickened. Set aside to cool. Once cooled mix 1 tabelspoon of the glaze into the mayonnaise & set aside to top the burgers.
2. BURGERS: Mix all the burger ingredients together with your hands & form into two patties. Grill over medium-high heat for 3 minutes per side. Brush with glaze & flip. Grill 2 more minutes. Brush with glaze & flip again cooking 2 more minutes.
3. When the burgers have about 5 minutes left put the onions on the grill & brush them with the glaze. Grill until they are soft.
4. Brush both the burgers & onions with glaze once more before serving.
5. Serve the burgers on rolls topped with the mayonnaise & lettuce. The onions can be eaten on the side or on the burgers.
