Pesto Turkey Burgers

This mediterranean style turkey burger is flavored with basil pesto and crumbled feta cheese. It's delicious, fancy, and ready in only 20 minutes! I served this with pan fried asparagus! Serve on buns with lettuce, miracle whip and tomotoes.

Prep Time: 10 min. Cook Time: 10 min. Serves 4

Ingredients:
1 1/4 pounds lean ground turkey
2 Tbsp basil pesto (I added more)
1 teaspoon minced garlic or 2 cloves of garlic pressed
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 tsp seasoned salt ( I didn't do this)

1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.

2. Mix together ground turkey, pesto, garlic, feta cheese, 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt, and bread crumbs in a bowl until evenly blended. Form into 4 patties.

3. Grill pesto burgers until no longer pink in the center, about 4 minutes per side. Sprinkle with seasoned salt halfway through cooking.

Spicy Sausage Burgers

Ingredients:

Burgers:
1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds coarsely ground pork
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons ground fennel
1 teaspoon ground sage
1 teaspoon granulated onion
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
Salt
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling, plus 1 tablespoon

Steak Sauce:
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 cup tomato sauce
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Burgers:
In a large bowl, combine the pork, red pepper flakes, paprika, fennel, sage, onion, garlic and salt. Form the meat into 4 patties, put on a plate and coat with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Heat a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, add the patties and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Top the patties with a slice of provolone during the last minute of cook time and tent with foil to melt. Place patties on bun and top with your favorite hamburger toppings.

Steak Sauce:
Heat a small pot over medium-low heat and add the brown sugar, Worcestershire, vinegar, tomato sauce and black pepper, to taste. Simmer until the mixture becomes a thick steak sauce consistency, about 15 minutes.
