Turkey Burgers with Basil Mayonnaise

Turkey Burgers with Basil Mayonnaise

I didn't used to like ground turkey, but I came across some ground turkey breast on a manager's special and thought I'd give it another go. After much searching, I found this amazing recipe, tweaked it a bit here and there, and it is a WONDERFUL sandwich on whole wheat buns.

Notes

I serve these with Scrumptious Sweet Potato Sticks. A meat thermometer helps you know when the patties are done. Very high in selenium and high in niacin.
