In a large bowl, add turkey, egg white, and bean mixture and blend with an electric mixer until well combined.

Add panko crumbs 1/4 cup at a time and mix until the mixture holds together and is not too wet.

Shape into six equally sized patties. Grill for about 6 minutes per side or until cooked through.

Serve on whole wheat buns with reserved onion slices, greek yoghurt, and lettuce and tomato.

These burgers are so versatile and full of good for you ingredients. We call them fusion burgers because the recipe includes ingredients that are typically found in Asian, American, Greek, and Mexican cuisines. The combination makes for a pretty powerful punch of flavor!
