I bought some ground turkey and decided to make a Turkey Caprese Burger. Not only that, but I made some Balsamic, Basil Mayo to go with it. The patties are seasoned with Italian spices, sun-dried tomatoes and topped with fresh mozzarella.

Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper

2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced into 4 pieces

basil leaves

4 buns, toasted

Balsamic Basil Mayo

¼ cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon basil, finely diced

Directions

1Combine turkey, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper, and sun-dried tomatoes in a medium bowl. Form into 4 equal patties, about 4 inches in diameter.

2Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and add the burgers. Cook for 3 minutes. Turn over and top each with a mozzarella slice. Cover and cook until an instant-read thermometer reaches 165° F, another 3 or 4 minutes.

Balsamic Basil Mayo

1Meanwhile, stir mayonnaise, balsamic vinegar and diced basil together in a small bowl.

2 On each bun, spread some of the balsamic basil mayo, one slice of tomato, a few basil leaves, and a burger.
