Here's a great way to eat lighter without giving up flavor. These turkey burgers are stuffed with a tasty pesto sauce that spices up our barbecues. Jacqueline Marie Morris Bentonville, Arkansas Ingredients:
1-1/2 pounds ground turkey |
1 tablespoon steak sauce |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
5 tablespoons prepared pesto sauce |
8 slices marble rye bread or 4 italian rolls, split |
lettuce leaves |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the steak sauce, garlic, salt and pepper. Crumble turkey over mixture and mix well. Shape into eight thin oval patties.
2. Combine cheese and pesto. Spoon about 1/4 cup in center of four patties. Top with remaining patties; press edges firmly to seal.
3. Grill, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 165° and juices run clear. Serve on bread with lettuce. Yield: 4 servings.
