I am so excited about this turkey burger recipe! It combines all of my favorite ingredients- ginger, garlic, cilantro, and soy sauce into one delicious patty. I love dinners in the summer that don't require heating up your house with the oven. If you don't want to use your grill, you can easily cook these in a skillet or grill pan on the stove over medium-high heat for 5 or so minutes a side.
We had these burgers in lettuce wraps topped with spicy mayo, extra cilantro, chives, sliced tomato, and avocado and they were superb. They didn't quite stay in the lettuce wrap so it was a bit messy, but nonetheless still delish. If you prefer to use a bun, they would be equally as yummy!
Ginger is the superfood I'd like to tell you about in this recipe. Ginger is known to reduce inflammation in the body which is especially useful for treating headaches and arthritis. Ginger is said to be highly effective in preventing or treating motion sickness and nausea. The main component in ginger is Gingerol which may inhibit the growth of colorectal and ovarian cancer cells.
