RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
- In large mixing bowl, add the ground turkey, green onion (finely chopped), paprika, garlic powder, panko, egg, salt and pepper. Mix well, and gently pat it down. Cover with saran wrap and place in the refrigerator for 10 - 15 minutes.
- To make the GoChuJang glaze, add the GoChuJang, water and honey. Mix well and put aside. You can make this ahead of time (even up to a few days before using) and keep in the refrigerator.
- To make the Greek Yogurt condiment: In a mixing bowl, add the yogurt, cucumber, honey, rice vinegar, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Mix well and keep in the refrigerator (best to make this closer to serving, max of 1or 2 hours).
- Preheat your non-stick frying pan to med-high heat (1-2 minutes on the stove). Using your hands, shape your burger patty so that it is wider than the wide of your burger bun. (Keep in mind that approximately 20% of the patty size will shrink after you cook it.) You can make the burger patty as thin or thick as you would like. I made the burger patties in the video about 1 inch thick.
- Add about 1 Tbsp of olive oil to the preheated pan and add the burger patties. Cook the patties until it has a golden-brown crust (2 - 3 minutes on medium-high heat). Turn it over to cook the other side of the patty. Then add the GoChuJang glaze on the side of the golden-brown crust (You can put as little or as much as you prefer). Then add the cheese on top of the glaze. Loosely cover the pan with aluminum foil and finishing cooking the other side of the patty until golden-brown (2-3 minutes).
- Once the cheese has melted and the 2nd side of the patty has a gold-brown crust, turn the heat off, and let the patty rest in the pan with the aluminum foil loosely covered, for good 2-3 minutes. This is to ensure that the middle/inner part of the patty (if your patties are thick) is fully cooked.
- In another non-stick frying pan, preheat to medium heat. Put a generous amount of room temperature butter to the inner sides of your buns. Place the buttered side down on the pan until it is toasted to golden-brown crust (approximately 1 minute, but do keep an eye on it). Then turn off the heat, and turn the buns over to toast/warm up the other side.
- By now both the buns and the patties should be ready to be dressed with lettuce, tomatoes, and Greek yogurt condiment. TIP: Add the Greek yogurt condiment on the lettuce and tomatoes or on top bun. If you add the Greek yogurt condiment directly on the hot burger patty, it will just melt it. This condiment is best served cold.
Bon Appetit...:-)
