Basil & Roasted Tomato Turkey Burgers

Basil and Roasted Tomato Turkey Burgers

Serves 4

• 1 pint grape tomatoes or about 1+1/2 – 2 cups
• olive oil
• sea or kosher salt and ground black pepper
• 1 & 1/4 pounds ground Turkey
• 1 & 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 4 hamburger buns, toasted
• 1/4 cup onion, diced
• Basil sauce (recipe below)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Grease a 9×13 pan and add grape tomatoes, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Use your hands to massage the oil into the tomatoes. Roast for 20-25 minutes or until tomatoes begin to ‘deflate’ and wrinkle up.
3. Divide the ground Turkey evenly into 4 patties, make a small indent in the middle of each and season with oregano, garlic powder, parsley, & salt and pepper. Cook the burger in whatever way desired, topping each one with 1/3 cup of mozzarella cheese.
4. Top each bun with a burger, then a spoonful or two of basil sauce followed by roasted tomatoes and diced onion. Serve with additional basil sauce on the side for dipping.
