Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 lb. lean ground sirloin 90% lean
  • 1 1/4 lb. lean ground turkey
  • 1/3 c. finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/3 c. chopped sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
  • 1/4 c. red wine I used shiraz
  • 1/3 c. finely chopped fresh basil
  • 2-3 Tbsp. finely ground oatmeal
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 tsp. crushed rosemary leaves

Instructions

  • In a large bowl gently mix together the ground sirloin and ground turkey.
  • Add remaining ingredients to the meat. For the oatmeal start with 2 Tbsp., adding more if the meat mixture appears too loose.
  • With your hands carefully work all the ingredients together without over mixing.
  • Divide into 8 to 10 balls and form into patties.
  • Grill on medium to medium-high heat that has been preheated. We like to grill for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, turn 1/4 turn. Grill for another 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, flip. Grill second side for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, turn 1/4 turn. Then finish by grilling another 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Be safe and make sure the internal temperature reaches 160 degree F for a minimum of 15 seconds.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
