Lemongrass Ginger Turkey Burgers
It’s no secret that I am a massive burger fan. If I could, I’d legit eat a burger every day. These Lemongrass Ginger Turkey Burgers really scratch that burger itch.
This burger is bright, flavourful, and so incredibly satisfying. You should absolutely give this recipe a try, I think you’re going to love these!
Let’s Breakdown the Ingredients!
This burger is filled with tons of flavours from top to bottom! From the patty, the dressing, and the toppings, you will be asking for more!
Ground turkey, lemongrass and ginger are the main ingredients in this burger. As opposed to original burgers made with beef, this recipe uses ground turkey, which nutrition-wise is not all that different from beef, but it is slightly a healthier option.
The ingredient, lemongrass, does not overpower a meal with its light citrus, lemon and a hint of mint flavours. Ginger adds a slightly peppery sweetness to the burger that gives a bit of warmness to every bite.
The dressing for this burger is a simple hoisin lime mayo. Mayo is a great condiment with a slightly tangy flavour, but adding hoisin sauce and the lime zest really brings out a beautiful flavour. The hoisin sauce will add a salty and slightly sweet flavour to the neutral flavour of the mayo. The zest of lime helps enhance the citrus flavour of the burger.
In this burger, I topped it with pickled cucumbers and pickled carrots from my Quick Pickles recipe! But you can top it with your favourite burger toppings.
