Title: Marinated Chinese Hamburgers
Categories: Diabetic Meat Oriental Main
Yield: 4 Servings

16	oz	Lean ground beef
2		Egg whites
22		Scallions, finely chopped green and white parts incl.
4	ts	Reduced-sodium soy sauce
1	tb	Cornstarch
2	ts	Finely minced garlic
2	ts	Finely minced fresh ginger
		Freshly ground pepper to taste

I used ground turkey in this recipe and next time I make it I won't use the egg whites. I think it made them goopier than they needed to be. I also used green onions instead of scallions. This was an interesting recipe--I've never had hamburgers with ginger before and it was a unique taste!

1. Preheat an outdoor grill or a broiler until hot (I would suggest using a cooking spray on the broiler pan--I had fun soaking mine!)

2. Combine the ingredients in a large mixing bowl, mix with your hands, and form into 4 patties.

3. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until cooked to the desired degree of doneness.

4. Serve hot.

The cookbook suggests serving this with Oven-Fried Potatoes, Onions Baked in Their Skins, and Two-Lettuce Salad with Creamy Horseradish Dressing.
