  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Turkey Patties

  • 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

Toppings

  • 4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 2 peaches (sliced into 1/4-1/2 inch rounds)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • Balsamic glaze for drizzling
  • Extra pesto for drizzling

Buns

  • 4 buns

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Patties: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, pesto, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper using your hands to mix thoroughly. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into patties. Place on a parchment-lined plate and refrigerate to firm up while preparing toppings and preheating the grill.
  2. Preheat and Grill Peaches: Preheat the grill to 400°F and spray grates with cooking oil to prevent sticking. Place peach slices on the grill and cook for about 2 minutes on each side until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly. Remove and set aside.
  3. Grill the Turkey Burgers: Place turkey patties on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes on one side. Flip the patties, top each with a slice of mozzarella cheese, and grill for an additional 5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the cheese is melted. During the last minute, place buns on the grill to toast until golden brown.
  4. Assemble the Burgers: Place each turkey patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Layer with a few slices of grilled peaches, sprinkle with fresh chopped basil, and drizzle with balsamic glaze and extra pesto. Top with the bun and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use lean ground turkey (93/7) to keep burgers juicy but healthy.
  • Make sure to oil the grill grates well to prevent sticking, especially for the peaches.
  • You can substitute balsamic glaze with a reduction of balsamic vinegar if glaze is not available.
  • Serve with a side salad or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
  • Ensure turkey patties reach an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
