Korean BBQ Burgers

Delicious Burgers in style of Korean Bulgogi BBQ. (My husband won't let me make any other kind now). Recipe from Cooking Light magazine.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 6
• Yields: 6 burgers

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup  chopped green onion
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons  minced peeled fresh ginger
• 3  tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 1  tablespoon  dark sesame oil
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2  garlic cloves, minced
• 1 1⁄2 lbs  ground sirloin (or ground turkey)
•  cooking spray
• 6  whole wheat hamburger buns
• 6  red leaf lettuce leaves
• 6  tablespoons  thinly sliced radishes (I use cucumbers instead)

Directions

1. Prepare grill.
2. Combine first 8 ingredients. Divide into 6 equal parts, shaping each into a 1/2 inch-thick patty.
3. Place patties on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 6 minutes each side (160 degrees internal temp), remove patties from grill, let stand 5 minutes.
4. Toast buns; serve 1 bun with each patty, top each patty with 1 lettuce leaf, 1 T radishes or cucumber slices. (I also enjoy tomatoes with them).
5. Samuel Smith Nut Brown Ale is recommended.
6. I have also used the burgers in a salad, instead of on a bun, with romaine, all the veggies and a sesame ginger dressing and they are oh-so-delicious any way you eat them!
