About

This teriyaki turkey burger is a flavorful, satisfying twist on a classic. Lean ground turkey is seasoned with garlic, ginger, and a touch of teriyaki glaze, then grilled and topped with a crisp, lime-dressed slaw for the perfect mix of savory and fresh. It’s a great option if you’re looking for new recipes with ground turkey that are both simple and packed with flavor. Tips & Tricks
  • Cooking in a cast iron pan or on a grill works equally well – just be sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • For an extra flavor boost, brush on additional teriyaki glaze just before serving.
  • The slaw can be prepped a few hours in advance and stored in the fridge until ready to enjoy.
  • Swap in brioche or whole grain buns depending on your taste, or skip the bun and serve over greens for a lighter version.
