- 1 ¼ pounds ground turkey
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 Tablespoons fresh cilantro minced (optional)
- 1 egg beaten
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4-5 Tablespoons San-J Teriyaki Sauce divided
- 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large white onion sliced into rings
- 1 cup Jack or cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 ripe avocado peeled and sliced
- 1 medium ripe tomato sliced
Directions
- In a medium mixing bowl, lightly combine the ground turkey, garlic, cilantro, egg, salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon of San-J Teriyaki Sauce until just combined. Divide the mixture into four parts and make 4 patties. In two separate small bowls, reserve 2 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce each.
- In a small sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until caramelized and soft. Set aside.
- Preheat an oiled grill or skillet to medium. Add the turkey patties, cooking on each side for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the patties have no pink in the middle. Baste the patties with the reserved 2 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce, brushing the patties every few minutes with the sauce.
- Two minutes prior to removing the turkey patties from the heat, top each with the caramelized onion, a teaspoon of teriyaki sauce and 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese. Serve each portion as soon as the cheese is melted. Garnish each serving with the sliced avocado and tomato.
