Guest Post Friday – White Wine Pesto Turkey Burgers

August 20, 2010 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I love to bake. Cooking…not so much. The daily grind of providing dinner for myself and my husband (who is a rather picky eater) can wear on me. Therefore, I have three basic requirements for a recipe:

  1. It can be prepared relatively quickly and easily.
  2. It tastes good to both of us. 
  3. It is healthy and made with fresh ingredients.

This recipe is one of my all-time favorites because of its great flavor and flexibility. It’s also super fast and easy!

White Wine Pesto Turkey Burgers by Diana Jones

Ingredients:

12 oz. lean ground turkey
1 clove garlic, minced
2-3 tablespoons basil pesto (I use refrigerated for ease but fresh will work as well.)
2 tablespoons of grated carrot
3 tablespoons of cereal-type oats
1 oz. white wine (use your favorite)
¼ teaspoon poultry seasoning
2 teaspoons olive oil

Combine first seven ingredients in a bowl, mixing well. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Form your turkey mixture into patties – I usually make 4-5 patties from a batch. Cook until halfway done (easy to tell), flip over and continue cooking until patties are cooked through, about 3-4 minutes more.

Serving suggestions:
I love turkey burgers with some baby spinach and feta cheese as a filling and healthy dinner salad. A little whole grain rice goes nicely as well. My husband prefers his on a wheat Kaiser roll with baby spinach and spicy brown mustard.
