Ingredients

(Burgers)

  • 2 lb extra lean ground turkey
  • 9 oz white button mushrooms diced
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 4 in. piece pickled ginger diced (aka fresh ginger marinated beforehand for at least an hour in equal parts black rice vinegar + sweet vinegar)
  • 2 tbsp gochujang sauce Korean hot pepper paste
  • 1/2 lime juiced
  • 2 tbsp garlic minced

(Sriracha Wasabi-Mayo Sauce)

  • 2 tbsp wasabi mayo
  • 1 1/2 tsp sriracha
  • 2 tbsp Fage 0% Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp gochujang sauce Korean hot pepper sauce

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine all the burger ingredients until well mixed.
  • Form into ~3-in. diameter patties. (They'll be soft and may not hold their shape quite so well, so you might want to use a grill pan, and also non-stick spray since there's not much fat in there.)
  • Grill until turkey's internal temperature is at 165 F.
  • While the turkey burgers are grilling, prepare the sauces! Mix the ingredients for each sauce into a separate small bowl.
  • When the burgers are done cooking, top each one with a dollop of sauce and a spoonful of the hemp-seed/red onion/mushroom mixture. Serve with a side of greens.
