the outgoing pipes...drains...are shared.
the problem isn't that the sink gurgles...the problem is that if ever there were a blockage in the sewers (at the street)...the back up could come as far as your sink.

There is a partial clog somewhere. The water is making it out, but it is backing up into shared pipes before flowing out of the house.
We just had a plumber at our house last week... Our washer was emptying and making our kitchen sink gurgle. Then the partial clog become completely clogged and backed up into the sink.
Call a plumber before it clogs the rest of the way and you have a mess. He should be able to snake the drains and it will be fine. I would call today instead of waiting for the weekend or it will cost you a whole lot more.

Sounds like a venting problem.when you flush toilet it's sucking the water out of p- trap at kitchen sink which can allow sewer gas in.

The outside roof vent stack is most likely restricted. There is a product available from hardware stores that goes on the end of a garden hose and is inserted in the roof vent pipe and then the water is turned on and it expands inside the pipe and forces the obstruction open. Go to your local hardware store and see if you can get one of these:

Get ready to spend a lot of money, You have problems with your pipes under your house, Sounds like your septic tank is backing up.If you live in the country, you will need the septic tank pumped out. But, if you live in the city, call the city workers and report it. witch in eather case, you will have a big bill.

Could be several things. First, do you have a septic tank? If so the tank could be backing up (full), and need to be pump. Or a blocked vent line.
