ingredients

¹⁄₂ cup chopped green onion
1 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons brown sugar
1 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
¹⁄₂ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 ¹⁄₂ lbs ground sirloin (or ground turkey)
cooking spray
6 whole wheat hamburger buns
6 red leaf lettuce leaves
6 tablespoons thinly sliced radishes (I use cucumbers instead)

directions

Prepare grill.
Combine first 8 ingredients. Divide into 6 equal parts, shaping each into a 1/2 inch-thick patty.
Place patties on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 6 minutes each side (160 degrees internal temp), remove patties from grill, let stand 5 minutes.
Toast buns; serve 1 bun with each patty, top each patty with 1 lettuce leaf, 1 T radishes or cucumber slices. (I also enjoy tomatoes with them).
Samuel Smith Nut Brown Ale is recommended.
I have also used the burgers in a salad, instead of on a bun, with romaine, all the veggies and a sesame ginger dressing and they are oh-so-delicious any way you eat them!
