One thing I love about living on the Texas coast is that grilling season never really ends. I love grilling, because not only is it naturally a healthier way to cook, but it also gives dishes more flavor. Plus, you really can’t beat the clean up!
So, our grill gets used a link no longer available , and if you know me at all, you know I have a hard time turning down a good grilled burger. In an effort to not overdo the red meat, I’ve started making turkey burgers so I can have a little less guilt about how many I eat.
As a result, these pesto turkey burgers have become a favorite! They’re so simple to make, and they’re loaded with flavor, too! Give these a try next time you light up the grill. Top them with some mozzarella or colby jack cheese, arugula, and pair it with some sweet potato fries for a meal packed with flavor and color.
I love this recipe because it’s so easy to make. The actual meat only takes two ingredients: pesto and ground turkey! Plus, they’re loaded with flavor. Of course, you can cook them on the stovetop, too, but I think the grill really adds that final touch.
