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:
  • 2 sprays cooking spray
  • 1 pound uncooked 93% lean ground turkey
  • 1/3 cup 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 items reduced calorie hamburger roll
  • 4 sprays olive oil cooking spray
  • 2 small fresh tomatoes, ripe, yellow and/or red, thickly sliced
  • 1 cup basil, fresh, leaves, torn or thinly shredded

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.

Serving Size: Yields 1 burger per serving.

Notes:
Cook the burgers until a minimum internal temperature of 165°F. 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.
