Teriyaki Turkey Burgers

I love a good burger and they are always best from home.  Lately I have been foregoing the bun as part of my desire to lower carbs…they are still delicious.  This is a nice change from the usual ground beef burger.  Don’t forget to grease your grill before barbecuing.

750 g ground turkey
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
1/4 cup thick teriyaki sauce
3 green onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
1 tsp wasabi paste

• In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, garlic, ginger, teriyaki sauce, green onions, sesame seeds and bread crumbs.  Shape into 6 burger patties.  Broil or grill burgers 4 to 6 inches from the broiler or over medium high coals for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once.
• Meanwhile mix together mayonnaise and wasabi paste; spread on 6 lightly toasted burger buns
• Place cooked turkey burgers in buns.  Serve with sliced cucumber and watercress or arugula
