The addition of fennel seeds makes these burgers reminiscent of Italian sausage. Top them with fresh basil and tomato for a wonderful summer main course.

Ingredients

1 spray(s) cooking spray   
1 pound(s) uncooked 93% lean ground turkey   
  1/3 cup(s) uncooked onion(s), chopped   
2 tsp minced garlic   
2 tsp fennel seed   
1/2 tsp table salt   
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground   
4 spray(s) olive oil cooking spray   
  2 small fresh tomato(es), ripe, yellow and/or red, thinly sliced   
1 cup(s) basil, fresh, leaves, torn or thinly shredded   
  4 item(s) reduced calorie hamburger roll(s)   

Instructions

  • Coat a grill or grill pan with cooking spray; preheat to medium-high.

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine turkey, onion, garlic, fennel seed, salt and pepper; form into four 1/2-inch-thick patties. Coat burgers and inside of rolls with cooking spray.

  • Grill burgers for 5 minutes; flip burgers and add rolls to grill. Grill open-face rolls until lightly charred, about 1 to 2 minutes; remove to serving plates. Grill burgers until cooked through, about 5 minutes more.

  • To serve, top grilled rolls with burgers and tomato slices; garnish with basil. Yields 1 burger per serving.

Notes

  • For an extra hit of flavor, rub the bread with a cut garlic clove as it comes off the grill.

    Try these burgers with arugula leaves instead of the basil.

I love the fennel in this recipe!..Tomatoes etc. needs to be on top so the dryness of the turkey doesn't overwhelm you.
