FIRST Prepare Basil mix by combing ingredients in a small bowl. Place in refrigerator until ready to use. Place ground turkey in a large bowl. Add oregano, basil, mustard and garlic. Season pepper. Using hands, mix ingredients to form into about 6 patties.
NEXT Preheat grill to medium-high heat. To prepare eggplant, combine vinegar and oil in a small bowl. Season eggplant with pepper and brush both sides with vinegar mixture. Spray grill with non stick spray and grill burgers for about 6 minutes per side, flipping only once. About 1 minute before burgers are done. Grill eggplant and onions for about 2 minutes until tender.
LAST Spread basil mix on each bun or on top of burgers (if you aren’t using bun) with grilled eggplant and onion. Add fresh tomato and serve.
FYI–
How to roast garlic: Wrap loose garlic cloves (with skin on) in tin foil. Place on a baking sheet and roast in a 350 degree oven for about 25 minutes until garlic are tender. Once cloves have cooled, peel skin and smash garlic into a paste.
