Pesto Turkey Burgers


  • Author: clarawhitmore

Description

These burgers bring the perfect balance of fresh, herby pesto and juicy turkey with a salty burst of feta in every bite. I first made them during a summer BBQ, and they’ve been a warm-weather staple ever since. Lighter than beef but bursting with flavor, they’re a fresh take on a grill-night favorite.

 


Ingredients

Scale

lbs lean ground turkey

2 tbsp basil pesto

1 tsp minced garlic

½ cup crumbled feta cheese

1½ tsp seasoned salt

½ cup bread crumbs

½ tsp seasoned salt (for extra seasoning)


Instructions

In a large bowl, mix ground turkey with pesto, garlic, feta, bread crumbs, and both portions of seasoned salt.

 

Form mixture into 4–5 burger patties.

 

Grill or cook in a skillet over medium heat for 5–6 minutes per side, or until internal temp reaches 165°F.

 

Serve on buns with your favorite toppings—lettuce, tomato, or a little more pesto.

Notes

Herby, juicy, and packed with flavor—these burgers bring a Mediterranean twist to your grill!
