Ingredients

1 ½ lb. Ground turkey

3 Tbs. Minced green onion

1tsp. Reduced-sodium soy sauce

1tsp. Minced fresh ginger or ½ tsp. Ground ginger

2 tsp. Dijon-style mustard

¼ tsp. Black pepper

6 whole-grain hamburger buns, lightly toasted

Green-leaf lettuce and scallion ( Green onion ) brushes for garnish

Directions

1 Preheat the broiler. Line a broiler pan with foil

2 In a large bowl, combine the turkey, green onion, soy sauce, ginger, mustard and pepper. Mix well. Shape mixture into 6 patties.

3 Place patties on rack in prepared pan. Broil 2 inches from the heat until patties are cooked through, about 5 minutes per side

4 Place the buns on serving plates; place lettuce on buns and top with burgers. Garnish with scallion brushes and serve.

Variation:

The typical burger condiments—ketchup, yellow mustard, relish, and pickles-- are high in sodium. For a change of pace, try topping burgers with healthy alternatives such as tomato, red and green bell pepper, and a little homemade salsa. Also make wise bread choices—English muffins and whole-wheat pita pockets are low-fat options.
