Did you make kimchi with this recipe (easy mild vegan kimchi)?
An easy way to use up leftover kimchi is to chop the kimchi up and mix it with ground turkey. The kimchi and kimchi juice have so much flavor already that you don't need to add much else to the meat for the burger to taste yummy. Plus the kimchi juice keeps the turkey burger nice and moist even when it's lean turkey.
Here pictured above, I served these turkey kimchi patties on this plain unfilled carrot bao bun with some baby spinach, Japanese pickles (takuan), sriracha sauce, and a thick slather of a caramelized onion spread. But you can use whatever buns you have on hand and your own favorite condiments. You can even serve the patties as a side dish (ban chan) with some rice.
