Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained and divided
1 pound ground turkey
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
½ cup panko bread crumbs
½ cup sliced fresh basil leaves

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Add 1/2 cup diced tomatoes to a large mixing bowl and mash with a fork until broken up. Add turkey, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, basil, egg, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until combined, then form into 4 patties.
