Toppings:
Teriyaki BBQ Sauce
1/4 small onion

Asian Turkey Burgers
1 package of Ground Turkey--I find that the Ground Turkey is always packaged more than 1 lb. (That's okay)
1 small onion or 1/2 of a large one finely minced
1 1/2 inch piece of ginger, grated (you can sub 1 teaspoon ground dried ginger if you have to)
2 tablespoons soy sauce (I always use the reduced sodium--so much better for you and you can control the salty taste)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 tablespoons dried (or fresh) parsley
Sesame seed buns
Pineapple rings
Romaine lettuce
Sesame seeds
Teriyaki BBQ Sauce (recipe below)

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all of the ingredients just until they come together. Don't over mix, the meat will become tough. Grill for about 4 minutes on each side or until completely cooked through.

Place on bun, top with pineapple, lettuce, sesame seeds and BBQ sauce.

Place the onion, ginger and garlic in a food processor or blender. Blend until it almost forms a paste.

Take the paste out and add it to a small sauce pan. Cook this mixture for about 2 minutes stirring constantly.

Add the BBQ sauce, soy sauce and honey. Let simmer on medium heat for about 10 minutes. Keep an eye on it because with the honey it can burn. Stir throughout the 10 minutes.
