This is a recipe I used quite often when I was on Weight Watchers a few years ago.  They are delicious and only 6 points per burger including the bun!  If you add cheese or mayo, that will effect the points value, however.

Teriyaki Turkey Burgers

• 1 1/4 pound lean ground turkey
• 1 Tbsp ginger root, fresh, finely chopped
• 1 Tbsp minced garlic
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
• 1/4 cup scallion(s), chopped
• 2 Tbsp cilantro, fresh, finely chopped
• 1 large egg white(s)
• 2 sprays cooking spray
• 8 medium scallion(s), root ends trimmed
• 4 reduced-calorie hamburger roll(s)

Instructions

• Preheat a grill (or grill pan) to medium-high; cover to maintain heat
• In a large bowl, combine turkey, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, teriyaki sauce, chopped scallions, cilantro and egg white; mix thoroughly with your hands or a spoon.
• Make 4 burgers, about 3 1/2-inches across and 3/4-inches wide.
• Place burgers on a nonstick baking tray; coat with cooking spray. Flip burgers and coat other side with cooking spray.
• Place burgers on heated grill (or grill pan) and cook, flipping once, until fully cooked, about 5 to 7 minutes per side. A few minutes before burgers are done, place whole scallions on center of grill and cook, turning once, until bright green and charred, about 2 minutes.
• Remove burgers and scallions to a plate; lightly toast rolls on grill. Serve each burger on a roll topped with 2 scallions.

 

P.S. If someone could tell me how to get the “other” Mr. Linky where the links would show up on this page I would be eternally grateful.
