Thai Turkey Burgers (or meatloaf!)

Wowsa.  I found this recipe in All Recipes magazine.  It is loaded with flavor--the ginger really pops. I did modify it a bit.  I can't help myself.   (I almost like this better as a meatloaf!)

Top with the cole slaw recipe post from October 2016 for a mild flavor.  Or even better, put this on a thin pita with the sriracha slaw from September 2020.  A nice kick--so good.


Thai Turkey Burgers

1 egg
3 T. soy sauce
1/3 c. minced fresh cilantro
1/4 c. thinly sliced green onion
1 1/2 T. minced fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
1 lb. lean ground turkey
1/3 c. bread crumbs

Whisk egg and soy sauce in a bowl.  Add cilantro, green onion, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper.  Add turkey and bread crumbs.  Mix well with your hands and shape into 4 patties.

Cook on the grill or in a non stick skillet over medium heat, turning once.  12 to 15 minutes until 165 degrees in center.

If making it as a meatloaf, form a loaf and bake on an oiled rack placed on a baking pan for about 45 minutes at 350 degrees or until internal temp is 160 degrees.
