Asian Turkey Burgers (or meatballs)

Step 1

Stir all of the ingredients – except the turkey – together in a bowl. Add the turkey and gently mix to blend. Form the mixture into 4 burgers or into about 16 meatballs (a cookie scoop is useful here). Place them on a plate or baking sheet, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or for up to 1 day before cooking.

Step 2

Center a rack in the oven and preheat it to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment, foil or a baking mat.

Step 3

Warm a tablespoon or 2 of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. I like a nonstick skillet for this job. When the oil is hot, slip in the burgers or as many meatballs as can fit comfortably without crowding. Cook until brown on all sides, about 5 minutes, transfer to the baking sheet and continue with the remaining burgers or meatballs, if necessary.

Step 4

Slide the sheet into the oven and cook until the burgers or meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. The burgers will take 15 to 20 minutes and the meatballs about 5 minutes (depending on how cold the meat was when you started.)

Step 5

The burgers or meatballs are ready to serve now. If you’ll be using them for soup or sandwiches, you can wrap and chill them until needed.

Step 6

STORING: Wrapped well, the cooked burgers or meatballs will keep in the refrigerator for about 3 days. The mixed, shaped and cooked burgers or meatballs can be wrapped airtight and frozen for up to 1 month.
