Step-By-Step Instructions:
Prepare an indoor or outdoor grill.
In a medium bowl, mix together turkey, garlic powder and black pepper. Divide turkey into six equal portions, shaping into a patty.
Place patties on grill rack; grill 3-4 minutes per side or until juices run clear.
In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup and balsamic vinegar.
Place burger on sandwich thin and top with 1 Tbsp. ketchup mixture, 1 tomato slice, 1 slice cheese and 3 basil leaves. Repeat process for remaining 5 burgers.
Turkey burgers are usually hard for me to cook. However, this time I used my George Foreman grill and left the lid up. I only had to spray one side with cooking spray, kept my eyes on it while it cooked to ensure that I didn't overcook it. These burgers came out great! I loved the balsamic vinegar bbq sauce, topped it with all but the cheese ingredients (just not a cheese person) and found myself enjoying every single bite. A great combo, worthy of repeating multiple times.
