I wanted to make turkey burgers a lot more fun. On a whim, I added hoisin sauce, gingerroot and garlic. Now we eat them about once a week. —Ashley Gayle, Ellicott City, Maryland

Ingredients

• 3 green onions, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1-1/4 pounds ground turkey
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 2 medium apples, julienned
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix green onions, hoisin sauce, ginger, garlic, salt and pepper. Add turkey; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into four 3/4-in.-thick patties.
2. In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook burgers until a thermometer reads 165°, 7-9 minutes on each side.
3. Meanwhile, for slaw, in a large bowl, whisk oil, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. Add apples and green onions; toss to coat.
4. To assemble, spread bun bottoms with hoisin sauce. Top with burgers and slaw; replace tops.
