Instructions
Grill and Assemble Burgers
In a bowl, mix together the turkey, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined. Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each one into a patty. Heat up your grill to medium-high and give the grate a light coating of oil so the burgers don’t stick. Grill the patties for about 4 minutes on each side. When you flip them the second time, add the provolone slices on top and let the cheese melt as they finish cooking. While the burgers are grilling, toss the ciabatta rolls on the grill for a couple of minutes until they’re nicely toasted. In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and pesto until smooth, then spread this tasty sauce on the toasted rolls. Finally, assemble your burgers with the turkey patties, some sliced red onion, and lettuce, and enjoy!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
These burgers offer a delicious twist on a classic favorite by combining lean turkey with bold Italian flavors. They are healthier than traditional beef burgers but still juicy and full of taste. Grilling adds a smoky char that makes each bite satisfying.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these burgers on toasted buns with fresh basil leaves, sliced tomatoes, and a smear of pesto mayo. A side of grilled vegetables or a crisp green salad complements the flavors perfectly. For extra zest, add some roasted red peppers or mozzarella cheese.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover cooked patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze cooked burgers wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and foil for up to 2 months. Reheat gently to keep them moist and flavorful.
