This easy burger combines lean ground turkey with onion, garlic, and fennel, which add flavor and moisture to the patties. 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 that can be prepared outdoors on your grill or inside on a grill pan. 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 peppery arugula leaves or mild spinach leaves instead of the basil.
