My love of burgers knows no season. But the ripe seasonal produce during the summer months, and the warmer grilling weather always brings me back to making new burger recipes. This particular recipe started with some leftover pesto, and from there became a summer favorite. I still happened to have sweet potatoes around when I made this recipe. But soon they’re about to get expensive during the height of summer, and then I just sub in regular sliced potatoes instead. Yukon golds or red potatoes are my faovrite to grill because they don’t dry out.
The prep for this recipe is nice and easy, just slice your choice of potato and onion. Then you’ll mix some pesto (homemade or store bought – both work great) into the burger patties.
The potatoes, onions, and burgers grill…
… while you cut up the tomatoes and toss them with a little more pesto.
Once the burgers are done, you stack them up and top with the pesto coated tomatoes. A great way to mix things up is to change out the ground turkey for beef or pork, and you can also use any flavor of pesto. Instead of classic pesto, you can use cilantro pesto or kale pesto. The options are endless really, you could also sub diced peaches in for the tomatoes – and as you can see there’s no end to the burger fun. No reviews
