These Healthy Turkey Burgers with Orange Ginger Glaze are a fresh, vibrant twist on classic burgers — lighter, brighter, and absolutely packed with flavor. Lean ground turkey gets mixed with green onions, cilantro, soy sauce, garlic, and grated ginger for a juicy patty that never turns out dry. Then comes the star of the show: a simple homemade citrus glaze made with fresh orange juice, lemon juice, soy sauce, butter, and cilantro. It reduces into a glossy, tangy-sweet drizzle that takes these burgers from basic to unforgettable.
If you love fresh, clean ingredients and a little bit of Asian-inspired flair, this is the kind of weeknight dinner you’ll crave again and again. These turkey burgers are healthy, satisfying, and easy to pair with rice bowls, healthy potato salad, or grilled vegetables — and they’re perfect for warm-weather grilling or quick indoor skillet nights.
