turkey burgers recipe instruction

1. In a small mixing bowl, use your hands to combine the ground turkey and Oriental Wok Sesame Sauce.
2. Portion the meat into 4 equal burgers. Roll the meat into a ball. Using your thumb, create a well in the center of the ball of meat. Place the cheese in the middle and fold the meat over the top. Seal the edges so no cheese is exposed.
3. Heat a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Cook the burgers, letting them form a crust on the bottom. Flip and sear the other side. Add a lid, reduce the heat to medium, and let finish cooking.
4. While the burgers are cooking, toast the buns, slice the tomatoes and onions, and clean the lettuce.
5. Serve on whole-wheat buns. Refrigerate any leftovers.

turkey burgers tips and tricks

• Ground turkey is a great, healthy base for a burger, but it tends to dry out quickly. I like to add a sauce to the meat and a hunk of cheese to the middle for flavor, but also for extra moisture.
