This tasty and aromatic recipe for Ginger and Lemongrass Turkey Sliders in Lettuce Cups is courtesy of Jennie-O Turkey and Biggest Loser Resorts.
Ingredients
- 20 oz Extra Lean Ground Turkey (Jennie O package)
- 1 clove fresh garlic minced fine
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger peeled and chopped fine
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemongrass grated super fine
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped rough
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce divided
- 6 drops toasted sesame oil divided
- Fresh cracked black pepper to taste
- ½ cup fresh orange juice
- 1 cup red cabbage cut into ribbons
- 1 large carrots finely grated
- 8 leaves iceberg lettuce washed
- Whole cilantro leaves for garnish
- Toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat a grill or grill pan on medium high heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the turkey, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, chopped cilantro, 1 Tablespoon soy sauce and 3 drops sesame oil. Mix well until fully incorporated and season with fresh cracked black pepper.
- Form the turkey mixture into tight balls of approximately 2 ½ ounces each – there should be 8 balls. Flatten them into patties about ½ inch thick.
- Brush the grill lightly with oil and place the turkey patties onto the grates. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 165F in the center of the burgers.
- While the burgers are cooking, mix the cabbage and carrots in a separate, medium sized mixing bowl. Mix in the remaining soy sauce and sesame oil along with the orange juice. Mix well and season to taste with black pepper.
- Remove the burgers from the grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes. To serve, place a burger into each lettuce leaf or cup and mound a small amount of the cabbage and carrot salad on top. Garnish with cilantro and toasted sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately.
