Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, use a fork to gently combine the turkey with the Gruyere, green onions, breadcrumbs, Dijon mustard, and garlic; season generously with salt and pepper. Divide the mixture evenly into 6 1-inch thick patties.


Grilling: Heat grill to high and lightly oil the grates. Place the patties on the hottest part of the grill; sear until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Move the patties to the cooler part of the grill; continue grilling until cooked through 5-10 minutes per side.


Frying pan: In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1-2 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Place the burgers in the pan with a lid on and cook 7-8 minutes per side.


Split the burger buns and toast on the grill or under the broiler for a minute or two. Mix up the aioli in a small bowl and top one side of the bun with the mixture. Lay a turkey burger over the aioli and top with your favorite burger toppings: lettuce, tomato, thinly sliced onion, pickles, cheese, etc.
