These Thai-inspired turkey burgers are a flavorful and healthy option for a quick and satisfying meal.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped scallions, minced cilantro, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, crushed red chili, and lime zest.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the burgers tough.
Shape the mixture into equal-sized patties, about 4 in total.
Use slightly wet hands to prevent the mixture from sticking.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Ensure the grill is hot before placing the patties to achieve a good sear.
Grill the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked.
Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain their juices.
Serve the burgers on a plate with your choice of sides or in a bun with toppings.
Garnish with extra cilantro or a squeeze of lime for added freshness.
