Gourmet turkey burger with fresh chives, basil, and a kick of Tabasco, served with tomatoes, sweet pickles, and coleslaw.
Ingredients:
  • Turkey burgers:
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey (white meat, dark meat, or a mixture)
  • 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
  • 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh chives
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 1/2 to 3 teaspoons of hot chile sauce such as Tabasco sauce (amount depends on how spicy you like your foods), or Tabasco Chipotle sauce
  • 2 green onions, minced, white and green parts
  • 4 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt, or more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or more to taste
  • 4 hamburger buns, lightly toasted
  • Sweet pickle slices
  • 1 tomato, cored and sliced
  • Coleslaw
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup loosely packed arugula, watercress, or just another cup of shredded cabbage
  • 10 basil leaves, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions:
  • Preheat your grill (gas or charcoal) for high direct heat. Alternatively, use a griddle or cast-iron frying pan on the stove-top to cook the burgers.
  • Mix all burger ingredients together in a bowl until just combined. Shape into four 1-inch thick patties, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
  • Grill burgers and toast buns: Season patties with salt and pepper. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Toast buns on the grill for about a minute. Rest burgers for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Prepare the cole slaw dressing by combining mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, sugar, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Toss the dressing with cabbage, arugula, and basil in a larger bowl just before serving.
  • Create your burgers by layering each patty on a bottom bun, adding a slice of tomato, a few pickles, a dollop of coleslaw, and finally, crowning it with the top bun. Inspired by a Sara Foster recipe in House Beautiful magazine.
