Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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!)
