4 burgers
- Serves:
- 4
ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon prepared basil pesto
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic, about 2 cloves
- 3⁄4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1⁄2 teaspoon table salt
- 1⁄2 cup breadcrumbs
directions
- Combine all ingredients until well-blended. Form into 4 patties, each about 1½" thick. Press the center slightly more to create a slight dimple on each side; this will allow the center to expand as the outside cooks, resulting in a nice flat burger when cooked.
- Cook on a preheated outdoor grill, or under a broiler, until no longer pink in the center, about 5 min each side. Serve on toasted hamburger buns.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013.
After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
