For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the turkey mixture. If you don't have fresh basil, 1 tablespoon of dried basil can be substituted. To add a cheesy element, melt a slice of your favorite cheese (cheddar, provolone, or Swiss) on each burger during the last minute of grilling. For a complete meal, serve with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Prepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, gently mix together the ground turkey, finely chopped onion, egg substitute (or egg whites), minced fresh basil, prepared horseradish, light soy sauce, minced garlic, and ground black pepper until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough burgers. (5 minutes)
03
Step
12 mins
Form the Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and gently form each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from bulging during grilling. (3 minutes)
04
Step
3 mins
Grill the Burgers: Place the patties on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 6 minutes per side, or until the burgers are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each burger should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (12 minutes)
05
StepAssemble and Serve: Serve the grilled basil turkey burgers on whole wheat buns, topped with crisp lettuce leaves and slices of ripe tomato. (2 minutes)
