Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 pounds lean ground chicken, (or turkey)
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1/2 cup chopped scallions
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil (+ extra for griddle)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chile garlic sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dry sherry
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, (minced)
  • 8 hamburger buns
  • Possible Garnishes: mayonnaise, (pickled ginger, avocado, cucumbers, radishes, thai basil, butter lettuce)

Instruction

  • Place the ground chicken in a mixing bowl. Add all the ingredients (minus the buns and garnishes.) Mix until well combined. The patty mixture will be very moist and sticky.
  • Heat a griddle or large skillet to medium heat, about 350 degrees F. Once hot, brush the griddle generously with sesame oil. Use a 1/2-cup scoop to portion the patties out on the griddle. Use the bottom of the scoop to press them flat until they are the same width as your hamburger buns.
  • Cook for 5-6 minutes per side. Use a flat spatula to flip the burgers.
  • Place one patty on each bun. Spread the top bun with mayo and add your favorite toppings. (We love ours with pickled ginger!)
