Preparation

Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons EVOO, about 2 turns of the pan.

While the pan is heating up, in a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey with some salt and pepper and divide the meat into four portions. Shape each portion into a burger. Sauté each burger in the hot skillet until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.

While the burgers are cooking, in a small bowl, stir together the ginger, garlic, scallions, soy sauce and chicken stock. During the last two minutes of cooking, add the mixture to the pan and reduce, turning the burgers once the mixture has thickened to coat it.

Serve burgers on half of a toasted bun, pouring any remaining pan juices on top. Serve with your favorite salad or slaw alongside.
