1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon minced ginger
Topping: Green onions

Directions
1. Mix ingredients with a fork.
2. Form into 4 equal size burgers.
3. Heat skillet or grill; spray lightly with olive oil.
4. Cook burgers over medium heat until browned on one side. Turn burgers carefully with spatula. Cook burgers to an internal temperature of 160 degrees when measured with a meat thermometer. (Juices should run clear.)
5. Salt and pepper to taste. Add topping.
