Serves 4

These turkey burgers are so hearty and full of flavor that they hardly need a bun. Instead, serve them solo on a bed of grilled veggies for a memorable outdoor summer dinner.

Ingredients

Roasted Red Pepper and Avocado Salsa
1 avocado, finely chopped
1/2 pound roasted red peppers, finely chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoons thinly sliced basil
1/4 teaspoon or more finely chopped habanero pepper
Salt to taste

Turkey Burgers
1 pound ground turkey
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons dried bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped basil
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Method

For the salsa, put avocado, red peppers, lime juice, basil, habanero peppers and salt into a bowl and toss to combine. Set aside.

For the burgers, preheat grill. Put turkey, eggs, bread crumbs, cheese, basil and pepper into a large bowl and mix together well. Shape turkey mixture into 4 patties, then grill, flipping once, until just cooked through. Serve turkey burgers topped with salsa.
