Japanese-Style Turkey Hambaagu Recipe
A Japanese-style burger drizzled with a rich and flavoursome Teriyaki Honteri glaze.

Teriyaki Honteri Glaze
- 3 tbsp Mizkan Honteri
- 3 tbsp ponzu
- 3 tbsp cooking sake
- 1 tbsp water
- ½ tsp potato starch
Burger Patty
- 280g minced turkey
- 60g shiitake mushroom, finely diced
- 60g lotus root, finely diced
- 60g spring onion, finely chopped
- 60g onion, finely diced
- 1 tbsp flour
- 2 tbsp cooking sake
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Garnish
- Grated radish
- Spring onions
- Mix all the glaze ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
- Place burger patty ingredients in a bowl and knead well until the mixture is fully incorporated. Divide the mixture into 4 and create 4 oval shaped patties, tossing each patty between your palms around 10 times to release any air in the mixture. This procedure will help patties from breaking while grilling. Indent the centre of each patty with your thumb as the patties will rise and expand in the centre with heat.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan over medium heat and place the patties gently. Cook each side for 4-5 minutes until the centre of the patties are cooked through.
- Once the patties are fully cooked, mix the sauce mixture well once again. Spoon the sauce over the patties while cooking until all the sauce is poured in. The sauce will slightly thicken when it is ready.
- Place the burger on the plate and pour the sauce. Garnish with grated radish and spring onions.
- Serve hot.
