Ingredients
1 slightly beaten egg
1/3 C chopped onion
1/4 C grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 C snipped fresh basil or 1 TB dried basil, crushed
3 TB ketchup
1 clove garlic, minced
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 lb ground beef or turkey (or a mixture of the two)
Directions
In a large bowl combine the egg, onion, Parmesan cheese, basil, ketchup, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add ground beef or turkey and mix well. Shape meat mixture into about 6 patties.
Cook on the stove or grill for 14-18 min or until meat is done (165 degrees), turning once halfway through grilling.
Serve on toasted hamburger buns with lettuce, tomatoes, and Swiss or cheddar cheese.
Tip: The mixture seemed a little soft to me (I was afraid the burgers would fall apart on the grill), so I put them on tin foil sprayed with cooking spray and we slid that onto the grill. Once they got a little bit cooked, we flipped them directly onto the rack of the grill and got rid of the tinfoil for the rest of the cooking time.
That sounds good, I'll have to try it soon. Our favorite basil recipe is a Thai dish that I have no idea how to spell, but basically you cook up some meat (ground turkey or beef, chicken or pork cut up really small) with some onion, pour enough oyster sauce over it to coat everything, and add in a ton of chopped basil. Like probably a cup if you made a pound of meat. Then serve it over rice and with sirachi sauce and qai geow (no idea how to spell it but it's a fried egg and is totally optional). May be a good idea to call me, or preferably Trevor if you actually want to make this though as I'm not positive I got it all correct.
