Directions
Preheat grill to medium-high.
Place bread in a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs.
Transfer to a large bowl. Add ground turkey, water chestnuts, hoisin, scallions, ginger, garlic and salt; mix well.
(The mixture will be moist.)
With dampened hands, form the mixture into four ½-inch-thick patties.
Oil the grill rack (see Tip).
Brush the patties with sesame oil.
Grill until browned and no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side.
(An instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should register 165°F.)
Meanwhile, prepare Sesame Mayonnaise, if desired, as well as your favourite burger toppings, to serve with the burgers.
