Turkey Burgers with Mushrooms, Ginger, Sesame

I conceived this recipe  yesterday and made it for the first time. Best turkey burgers ever.

  • 3 whole eggs
  • 5 garlic cloves, microplaned
  • thumb sized chunk of fresh ginger, microplaned
  • double handful of fresh mushrooms, grated. you could chop or use the food processor; the grater worked great – so to speak.
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp sesame chili oil
  • salt and fresh ground black pepper

Put the above in a large bowl and whip together.  Add:

  • Three lbs or so lean ground turkey

and squish together with your (clean) hands. Sure, you could use a spoon, but where’s the personal touch in that?

I measured out 1/3 lb patties (with the kitchen scale, any cook as good-looking and intelligent as you has a kitchen scale, right?) and put them on a medium heat grill for 8 minutes on one side; flipped for 6.

About 215 calories each and they taste awesome…
