Hawaiian Turkey Burger

Taken from various, but mainly Spidesinmydna.com

Ingredients:
-1 lb lean ground turkey
-2 scallions, thinly sliced
-1 clove garlic, minced
-1 tsp ginger (used ground bc didn't have time for fresh)
-1/4 cup panko bread crumbs (maybe use 1/2 cup)
-1 egg (maybe don't use next time)
-2 T soy sauce (next time use 1 T)
-2 T hoisin sauce
-pinch of salt
-1/2 tsp ground black pepper
-red pepper flakes'
-1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Toppings:
-pineapple - grilled the slices
-red onion, sliced
-green bell pepper, sliced
-avocado - didn't use this time bc didn't have time

Directions:
-Mix turkey in bowl and make patties


Note: Used 99% lean and always will I don't care.  None of the recipes called for an egg, but I felt that that other burger recipes did, so I added it in anyways. The mixture was super sticky.  Probably needed some more bread crumbs/panko.

I also used the cast iron griddle pan. Cleaning it is super painful.  Not sure if it is worth it.

Steps to clean it.
-water and salt paste
-use brush
-can heat on stove to get bits off
-no soap
-completely dry

-clean right after cooking - blah
