Pesto Turkey Burgers


So we've gone a little pesto crazy here at YHC, so here is another recipe!!

Ingredients:
  • 1 lb Ground Turkey
  • 4 heaping tbsp of Pesto
  • 1 Cup of Mushrooms, Finely minced
  • 1 tbsp Garlic Powder
  • Mayo
  • Tomato, Sliced
  • American Cheese
  • Rolls
  • Salt and Pepper to taste


1.  Combine ground turkey, 2 tbsp of pesto, mushrooms, Garlic Powder, Salt and Pepper.  Mix Well.  Score into an X so that meat is even when you form patties



2.  Form into 2 patties. Make indentation in the center to help with even cooking 



3. Heat pan to medium high. Coat pan with evoo.  Add burgers and cook for about 6 minutes per-side
4. Top burgers with cheese and melt.
5. Toast buns lightly and slice a tomato
6. Make pesto mayo, the ratio we us is 2 tbsp of may for every 1 of pesto


This burger is really good made on the BBQ as well.  Usually that is where I would make it, but it was raining.

  1. Sounds good! I have some basil in the garden... I might give this one a try over the weekend. I love to use pesto with lemon juice as a marinade for grilled chicken.
