Directions:

1. In a large bowl combine turkey, coconut aminos, ground ginger, garlic, carrots and green onion.

2. Form 4 equal size patties and place in the refrigerator to allow them to set.

3. In a small sauce pan make the teriyaki glaze by combining coconut aminos, orange juice and honey. Simmer on a low to medium heat for about 5 minutes. Mix the water and arrowroot starch together and add to the sauce pan allowing to simmer until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
