Credit Matt Dunigan

• 3 lb(s) ground turkey
• ¼ chopped minced green onion
• 2 tsp minced ginger
• 2 Tbsp chopped Thai basil
• lettuce, red onion and mayo if desired
• Pineapple Salsa

To Make:

1. In a medium bowl, mix together all burger ingredients and combine evenly.

2. Using your hands, gently form the burgers into 6 patties about ¾ of an inch. Take care not to handle the meat too much to keep temperature as cold as possible at all times.

3. Drizzle oil on both sides of the patties and season the outside with salt and pepper.

4. Place patties into the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set up.

5. Preheat barbecue to medium heat. (350- 375°F) (175C-190°C). Oil grill to prevent sticking.

6. Place burgers on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side. Or until turkey is cooked through and nice char marks are achieved.

7. Remove the turkey burgers from the grill. Cool slightly and serve on buns with pineapple salsa. Garnish with burgers with lettuce, red onion and mayo if desired.
