DIRECTIONS

Prepare a hot fire in a charcoal or gas grill. (Or just before you're ready to cook the burgers, heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot.).
Combine the turkey, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, chives, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, scallions, basil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and work the mixture with your hands just to mix. (Do not overmix or the burgers will be tough.)
Form the meat mixture into four 1-inch-thick patties.
Season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper and grill them for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until they're just done.
Remove the patties to a platter, cover them loosely with foil to keep warm, and set them aside to rest for about 5 minutes.
To assemble the burgers, lay a few pickle slices and one tomato slice on the bottom of each bun and place the burgers on top.
Serve with mustard mayonnaise & the Spicy Cole Slaw, on the side.
SPICY COLE SLAW.
Combine the cabbage, arugula, and basil in a large bowl, and refrigerate.
Whisk mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, sugar, and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl.
Just before serving, pour the dressing over cabbage, season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss gently to coat.
