- 1 1/4 lb ground turkey
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 4 fresh mozzarella slices
- 4 tomato slices
- 1/4 cup basil pesto
- 4 burger buns
- 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
- 1 tbsp olive oil
How to make Caprese Turkey Burgers
- Mix ground turkey with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper using a light hand. Form 4 patties slightly wider than the buns and press a shallow dimple into the center of each.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook patties 5–6 minutes per side, until browned and the center reaches 165°F.
- During the last minute, place mozzarella on each patty and cover the pan so the cheese melts.
- Toast the buns cut-side down until lightly golden; this keeps pesto and tomato juices from soaking in too fast.
- Spread pesto on the buns, add turkey patties, tomato slices, basil if you have it, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Serve immediately.
