These turkey burgers are flavored with hoisin sauce, cilantro, and green onions. Use turkey thighs for the juiciest and most flavorful turkey burgers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey thighs, or 85% to 90% lean ground turkey
  • 4 tablespoons Asian hoisin sauce
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onion
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro leaves
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 split hamburger buns

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the ground turkey with the hoisin sauce, chopped green onion, cilantro, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Shape the meat mixture into four large burgers or about six to eight slider-size burgers.
  3. Oil the grill grate with vegetable oil. Grill the turkey burgers over medium heat for about 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until the burgers register at least 165 F on an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the thickest burgers.
  4. Grill or toast the buns, if desired.
  5. Assemble the turkey burgers in buns with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, or your favorite toppings.
