Description

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
• 2 teaspoons worcestershire
• 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 1/2 cups grape tomatoes, quartered
• 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4-1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• Black pepper to taste
• 3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2-3 teaspoon granulated sugar
• French bread, sliced
• Olive oil for brushing on the bread
• Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

• Heat the 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
• When the oil is heated add in the clove of minced garlic and cook it just until it starts to turn golden, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, careful not to burn it.
• Pour the garlic oil mixture into a large bowl.
• Add the quartered grape tomatoes, basil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to the garlic oil mixture and toss together.
• Set aside or cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat add the balsamic vinegar and sugar.
• Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes or until it has reduced to 1/4 cup.
• In a large bowl combine all of the ingredients for the turkey burgers with your hands, careful not to overwork the meat.
• Form the meat mixture into 4 patties, place them on a plate and refrigerate until ready to grill.
• Heat your grill to high heat and spray the grates with cooking spray or brush with oil to keep the burgers from sticking.
• Grill the burgers on each side for about 3-4 minutes or until they are no longer pink inside.
• During the last couple minutes of grilling place the slices of french bread brushed with olive oil on the grill and toast them for about 30 seconds on each side.
• Remove the bread from the grill and sprinkle the tops with the grated parmesan cheese.
• Place the grilled turkey burgers on top of the parmesan cheese toasts.
• Top the burgers with the tomato basil salad and some of the balsamic drizzle.
• Sprinkle with more parmesan cheese if desired.
