Asian Chicken Burgers
(Makes 4-6 servings)

The sauteed veggies give these burgers a great flavor. I omitted the mushrooms due to personal preference, and had to add about 1/4 cup breadcrumbs to soak up the moisture.

1 tablespoon peanut oil (I used sesame)
1 onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 deseeded red chili pepper or green chili pepper, finely chopped (optional--I omitted)
4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and finely chopped (I omitted)
1 lb ground chicken or ground turkey (I used turkey)
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine or dry sherry (I used sherry)
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon sugar

Heat the oil and saute the onion, ginger, garlic and chili for a 2-3 minutes. Add the mushrooms for the last minute.
Set aside to cool.
Mix the ground chicken with all the other ingredients and the cooled onion mixture. Shape into 4 or 6 burgers.
Fry them with some non-stick spray on medium heat for several minutes on each side or until done and browned (or grill them like I did!).
