Makes 6 servings

* 1 1/2 lb (675 g) ground turkey

* 2 cloves garlic, minced

* 1 tbsp (15 mL) grated fresh ginger

* 1/4 cup (60 mL) thick teriyaki sauce

* 3 green onions, chopped fine

* 1/4 cup (60 mL) toasted sesame seeds

* 1/2 cup (125 mL) dry bread crumbs

* 1/2 cup (125 mL) mayonnaise

* 1 tsp (5 mL) wasabi paste

* 6 hamburger buns, toasted

1. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, garlic, ginger, teriyaki sauce, green onions, sesame seeds and bread crumbs. Shape into 6 burger patties.

2. Broil or grill burgers 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) from broiler, or on medium-hot, for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once; or pan-fry them. Cooked patties should have an internal temperature of 165 F (74 C) using an instant-read meat thermometer.

3. Meanwhile, mix together mayonnaise and wasabi paste; spread on 6 lightly toasted burger buns. Place cooked burgers in buns and serve with sliced cucumber, watercress or arugula.
