Burger: Mix ground turkey, rice, panko, green onions, egg, sesame oil, soy sauce, Thai chile, and sugar very well. Make into 4 patties. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute burgers until cooked through, approximately 5 to 6 minutes per side (depending on how thick you make them).

These are my all time favorite turkey burger! Moist and delicious, with a lot of zing from the wasabi. I've been making this regularly for several years now and I never get tired of them!

These are the best turkey burgers I have ever had. They are moist and perfectly browned on the outside in the Peanut Oil and the wasabi mayo with lemo tops it off. We are garnished ours with fresh spinach leaves and some avacado for a different twist!
