Ingredients

• 1 lb 99% lean ground turkey
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 2/3 cup grated carrots
• 1/4 cup plain whole wheat bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
• 1 large garlic clove, peeled and minced

Preparation

1. Grease the grill grates with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat grill to 400°F.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients and gently knead together until well incorporated. Form into 4 patties.
3. Lightly spray the cut sides of the tomatoes with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
4. Cook the burgers for 10 minutes with the lid closed, flipping halfway through, until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Melt the cheese on the burgers during the last minute of cooking. Remove from the grill, place on a large serving plate and cover lightly with aluminum foil to keep warm.
5. Grill the tomatoes cut side down to slightly char them, about 4 to 6 minutes. Remove heat, place on the serving plate with the cooked burgers.
