Pesto Turkey Burgers

I never thought I would enjoy a turkey burger, I’m a beef girl, but let me tell you what this turkey burger is so so good!! Even my beef loving dad enjoys a good turkey burger!

I’ve never loved pesto, but this basil pesto absolutely makes this dish! I’ve even use sun-dried tomato pesto and it’s also delicious. Just because it’s a turkey burger doesn’t mean it isn’t juicy & mouth watering, because it most definitely is. It doesn’t need a lot of frills the cheese, the mayo, tomato & brioche bun are all this burger needs & it’s absolutely perfect!

I hope y’all will give it a try, even if you have never had a turkey burger this is the one you should try & then you’ll be hooked!
