    Instructions


    1. To make ahead:Prepare through step 2. Wrap patties individually and refrigerate for up to 8 hours or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before cooking.
    2. Heat grill to med-high.
    3. 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.) Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Form into 1/2-in. thick patties.
    4. Oil grill rack. Brush patties with sesame oil. Grill until browned and no longer pink in the center,about 5 min. per side.
    5. Meanwhile,prepare sesame mayo to serve with the burgers.
    6. Tip:When forming burger patties,make them thinner at the center to prevent them from steaming as they cook.
    7. Grilling Tip:Oil the grill rack just before cooking. The grill should already be heated and the coals or burners adjusted for the correct temp. Oil a folded paper towel. Hold it with tongs and pull it toward you over the rack. Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.
