Korean BBQ Burgers are a fun and flavorful twist on classic American burgers. The seasoning mixture combines soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and brown sugar to create a savory and sweet marinade that infuses the ground sirloin (or turkey) with Korean-inspired flavor. The red lettuce and thinly sliced radishes (or cucumber) add a refreshing crunch that balances out the richness of the burger. This recipe is perfect for a summer BBQ or a casual weeknight dinner with family or friends.

Instructions

1.In a large bowl, combine green onion, brown sugar, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and garlic. Mix well.
2.Add the ground sirloin (or turkey) to the bowl with the seasoning mixture and mix well.
3.Divide the mixture into 6 portions and form into patties. Place them on a plate and chill for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
4.Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat with cooking spray.
5.Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
6.Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a whole wheat bun. Top with a leaf of red lettuce and thinly sliced radishes (or cucumber).
7.Serve and enjoy!

PROS

The Korean-inspired seasoning and toppings add a delicious and unique flavor to classic burgers.

Using ground turkey instead of beef can reduce the calories and fat content without sacrificing taste.

CONS

The brown sugar in the seasoning mixture can make the burgers slightly sweet, which may not appeal to everyone’s taste.

The sesame oil can be overpowering if too much is used, so it’s important to measure carefully.

Ground turkey is a lean protein source that can help build and repair muscle tissue.
Green onions and garlic are rich in antioxidants that can improve heart health and boost immune function.
Radishes (or cucumbers) provide a crunchy and low-calorie topping that can help with weight management.
