Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 pound lean ground turkey

  • cup chopped fresh basil

  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed, or more to taste

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 4 slices provolone cheese

  • 4 ciabatta rolls

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise

  • cup prepared pesto

  • ½ red onion, sliced

  • 4 leaves romaine lettuce

Directions

  1. Combine turkey, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Divide into 4 equal portions and form into hamburger patties.

  2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill patties for about 4 minutes per side. Place provolone slices on the patties; continue to cook until cheese melts. Place ciabatta rolls on the grill and cook until browned to your liking, 2 to 3 minutes.

  3. Mix mayonnaise and pesto in a small bowl until thoroughly combined. Spread onto the rolls. Place the turkey patties on the rolls and top with sliced red onion and lettuce.

Cook's Note:

Pan-fry patties in a lightly oiled skillet over medium-high heat if preferred.
