A touch of chili paste gives these burgers a little kick. Many grocery stores carry a variety of good-quality pastes in containers that resemble toothpaste tubes (look in the produce department near the fresh herbs).

Ingredients
- Asian turkey Burgers shopping list
- 1 1/2 pounds lean ground turkey shopping list
- 1 small onion, very finely chopped shopping list
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten shopping list
- 1 cup panko (Japanese-style bread crumbs) shopping list
- 1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro shopping list
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley shopping list
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil shopping list
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds shopping list
- 2 teaspoons red chili paste shopping list
- 1 green onion, chopped shopping list
- 1 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper shopping list
How to make it
- Step 1
- Mix together the turkey, onion, egg, panko, parsley, cilantro, sesame oil, sesame seeds, chili paste, and green onion in a large bowl until well combined. Add the salt and pepper, or more to taste. (To test the flavor, cook a teaspoon or two of the mixture in the microwave or a small skillet.)
- Step 2
- Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape them into patties, gently pressing the center of each to create a slight indentation. This will prevent the patty from bulging in the center, so that you end up with a flat, evenly cooked burger. Refrigerate the patties until the grill is ready.
- Step 3
- Prepare a charcoal fire or a gas grill to medium-hot. Wipe the rack with canola oil and lay the burgers on it indentation-side up. Let them cook, without pressing down on them, until the bottoms are well seared, about 5 to 7 minutes. Flip the burgers and continue grilling until they are completely cooked through (the juices will run clear), another 5 to 7 minutes.
