Asian Turkey Burger

 

1 pound ground turkey
1 small red bell pepper chopped
1/4 small head Napa (or regular) cabbage, shredded
3 scallions finely chopped
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
2 Tablespoons basil finely chopped (or mint or cilantro)
4 teaspoons Bragg's Liquid Aminos
2 teaspoons finely grated ginger root
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
2 Tablespoons olive oil
6 whole grain hamburger buns (gluten sensitive folks – use rice bread)

Mix together ground turkey, bell pepper, cabbage, scallions, egg white, herb, 2 Tablespoons Bragg's Liquid Aminos, ginger, sesame oil, salt and pepper. Shape into 4 patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over high heat until hot. Reduce heat to medium, add burger patties. Cook 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Add more oil as needed.

If you would like to spice these burgers up a bit, mix these ingredients to make a spread:
1/4 cup mayonnaise (I use the Follow Your Heart grape seed mayo)
1 1/2 teaspoons prepared wasabi
3/4 teaspoon Bragg's Liquid Aminos
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Place burgers in a bun and spread with the mayo-wasabi sauce. Or just use mayo if you don't like wasabi.

Happy eating.

Blessings,
Dr. Jo
