Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground turkey
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 Burger buns

Instructions
Finely chop the cherry tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, and garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped cherry tomatoes, basil, garlic, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined, but do not overwork the meat.
Shape the mixture into four evenly sized burger patties, roughly 1-inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the turkey burgers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are fully cooked through.
While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing the cooked turkey patties on the buns and adding your favorite optional toppings, such as lettuce, sliced tomato, onion, or mayo.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Tomato Basil Turkey Burgers!
