    These are a favorite of my wife and myself. It starts off healthy enough with lean turkey, but stuffing them with mozarella and pesto ups the calories a bit

    I always end up with extra filling, but maybe you can squeeze in more than I!

    Pesto-Mozzarella Turkey Burgers

  • 1 1/4 lb. lean turkey burger
  • 1 tablespoon steak sauce
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 ounces shredded mozzarella
  • 5 tablespoons prepared pesto sauce
  • 8 slices marble rye bread, sandwich thins or buns of your choice
  • Lettuce and tomato slices, optional

    Combine the turkey, steak sauce, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix well. Shape into 8 thin patties. Combine the cheese and the pesto. Spoon about 1/4 cup into the center of 4 patties. Top with the remaining 4 patties. Press the edges firmly to seal.
    Grill, covered, over med. Heat about 5 min. per side or until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees. Serve on bread or buns with lettuce and tomato if desired.
