How to Make Big Basil Turkey Burgers
- In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground turkey, 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 large egg.
- The mixture will be moist; do not overmix.
- Preheat a griddle to 350°F (175°C) or heat a large skillet over medium heat with a light spray of cooking oil.
- Divide the turkey mixture into 6 equal portions. Gently form each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick and 5-6 inches in diameter (they will shrink during cooking).
- Cook the burgers for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no longer pink inside.
- While the burgers cook, prepare the basil sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, and 1/2 to 1 cup (packed) fresh basil leaves, chopped.
- Place the cooked turkey burgers on your favorite buns. Top with the basil sauce and your favorite toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion etc.).
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
