Ingredients
  

  • For the Burgers
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • ½ pound lean ground turkey look for ground breast meat
  • 2 - 3 tablespoons chopped green onion
  • 1 jalapeño minced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger I suppose you could use ground ginger, probably a teaspoon would do
  • 1 large clove of garlic minced or pressed
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seed oil keep this in the refrigerator so it doesn't go rancid
  • 1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce or Tamari
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • For the Slaw

  • 2 teaspoon chopped cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce or Tamari
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • ½ teaspoon sesame seed oil
  • 4 sesame seed topped hamburger buns or rolls

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the burgers: In a large bowl, mix together the pork, turkey, onion, jalapeño, ginger, garlic, sesame seed oil and soy sauce; mix well. Form into 4 patties, about ¾ inch thick. Season lightly with salt, and freshly ground pepper.
  • Prepare the grill or a grill pan to high; grill the burgers, turning once, until cooked through, about 8 minutes. 
  • Lightly toast the buns on the grill or under the broiler.
  • Prepare the SlawI: n another bowl, mix all the slaw ingredients together until well combined. Set Aside. 
  • When the burgers are cooked, place one on each bottom bun, top with the slaw, close and eat.

Notes

LindySez: Of course, if you have a problem with salt, you can omit, and or reduce the amount of soy sauce you use, or use a gluten-free Tamari, the Japanese alternative to Chinese soy which is slightly less salty. This burger is also wonderful without the bun if you are into eating your burgers without buns which would take this puppy down to only 221 calories and make it gluten-free. The pickled red onions, optional. But good!
