- Seasoning is key: Do not shy away from using a variety of spices and herbs to season the turkey burgers. This is where the Asian-inspired flavors come in. Common Asian spices and herbs like ginger, garlic, lemongrass, and cilantro can elevate the taste of the burgers.
- Cook the burgers properly: To ensure that the burgers are cooked thoroughly and evenly, cook them over medium heat. You can use a grill, a griddle, or even a skillet to cook the burgers.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Once the burgers are cooked, serve them with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese. You can also add Asian-inspired toppings like kimchi, pickled cucumbers, or hoisin sauce.
