• 2 combine the turkey, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, chives, green onions, worcestershire sauce, chili sauce, basil, salt and pepper in a large bowl and work the mixture with your hands to just mix. do not over mix or the burgers will be tough. form the mixture into 4 1-inch thick patties.
• 3 season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper. grill them for 5-7 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature of the patties reach 170°f on a meat thermometer.
• 4 turkey burgers should be cooked through, not rare. toward the end of the cooking, put the buns on the grill to toast for about a minute. remove the burgers from the grill to a platter, cover and let rest for 5 minutes.
• 5 serve with your favorite condiments.
