Pasture-Raised Grilled Pesto Turkey Burgers Recipe

Mouth-watering Grilled Turkey Burgers topped with fresh pesto, spicy arugula, and creamy mozzarella cheese... need we say more?

Keep it simple and savory by following the step-by-step recipe below to make Ground Turkey Burgers complemented by fresh basil and parmesan pesto. White Oak Pastures Turkey is Certified Non-GMO and Certified Animal Humane. Our birds spend their entire lives roaming the pastures. All the while, they are hunting, pecking, scratching, and dust-bathing as nature would have it. Because of their diet and lifestyle, our birds are lean, healthy, and delicious.

Check our our dark and white meat Ground Turkey and pat those patties out for your Grilled Turkey Burger. If you have little ones, they will love the Ground Turkey Sliders!

Ingredients

  • 32 ounces White Oak Pastures Pastured Ground Turkey
  • ¼ cup minced sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained
  • ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese

  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. pepper
  • 8 1-inch slices fresh mozzarella
  • 8 hamburger buns
  • ¼ cup of your favorite pesto
  • ¼ cup baby arugula

Method:

  1. Pre-heat grill to high heat.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix ground turkey, sun-dried tomatoes, parmesan cheese, grated garlic, and salt and pepper, using your hands.
  3. Once combined, form loose patties (we like 8 patties, 4 oz each).
  4. Grill turkey burger patties over high heat until cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  5. During the last minute of cooking, top each burger with one mozzarella slice and heat until slightly melted and bubbly. Place burgers on split buns, top with pesto and arugula, and serve.
