Method

For the salsa, combine avocado, red peppers, lime juice, basil, habanero peppers and salt into a bowl and gently stir. Set aside.

For the burgers, prepare a grill for medium-high heat cooking. 

Combine turkey, eggs, bread crumbs, basil and pepper into a large bowl and mix together well. 

Shape turkey mixture into 4 patties, then grill, flipping once, until just cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. 

Serve turkey burgers topped with salsa.
