Delightful Chicken Pesto Burgers With Tomato Topping
These chicken pesto burgers with tomato topping are a must-try. I love how flavourful these are and they are a guaranteed hit whenever I serve them to guests.
Ingredients
1 pound ground chicken (minced chicken)
2 links turkey sausage - casings removed
2 tablespoons pesto - refrigerated store-bought
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 medium tomato - ripe and sliced
3 stalks green onions (scallions or green shallots) - tops and bottoms trimmed, sliced- 1 tablespoon dressing
6 slices Gouda cheese
Instructions
- n a large bowl, gently mix the ground chicken, sausage, pesto, salt and pepper. Take care not to overwork the meat, as it is easy to toughen. Form into 6 patties, about 4 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. Place on a plate or platter and refrigerate until ready to grill and prepare side dishes.
- Mix the tomatoes, scallions, and dressing in a medium bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Cook burgers: Heat grill to medium. Oil the grates well with vegetable oil (chicken burgers stick easily). Grill patties, turning only once, about 6 to 8 minutes per side. During the last minute of grilling, top burgers with Gouda slices. Put the cover on the grill down until it just melted.
- Serve on toasted or grilled whole-wheat sandwich buns and top with tomato mixture. Phase One dieters, serve without buns or open-face with one slice of toasted whole-grain bread.
