Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground turkey preferably 93/7%
- 2 tablespoons pesto
- 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
- 4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
- 2 peaches sliced into 1/4-1/2 inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- Balsamic glaze and extra pesto for toppings
- 4 buns
Instructions
- In a large bowl add the ground turkey, pesto, balsamic vinegar, garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper. Use your hands to combine the ingredients. Divide the meat mixture into four equal balls and shape them into patties. Place the burgers on a parchment paper lined plate so they're easier to remove and refrigerate while you prep the toppings and preheat the grill.
- Preheat the grill to 400° F. and spray the grates with cooking oil. Place the sliced peaches and burger patties onto the grill. Grill the peaches for about 2 minutes and then flip them over and grill another 2 minutes. Remove them from the grill and onto a plate.
- Grill the turkey burgers for 5-6 minutes and then flip them over. Top with the slices of mozzarella cheese and grill another 5 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165° F. and the cheese is melted. During the last minute of grilling, add the buns onto the grates and grill until their golden and toasted.
- Place the burgers on the bottom half of the buns. Top with a couple of the sliced peaches, chopped basil and a drizzle of balsamic glaze and pesto.
