Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 0.25 cup dairy-free pesto
- 0.25 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 4 pieces burger buns (gluten-free, if needed)
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces tomato slices
- 0.25 cup additional dairy-free pesto (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, dairy-free pesto, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly to avoid overworking the meat.
Step 2
Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the avocado oil.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, place the burger patties in the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side, or until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 5
While the burgers cook, lightly toast the burger buns if desired.
Step 6
To assemble, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom of each bun, followed by a cooked turkey pesto burger. Top with a slice of tomato and a dollop of additional dairy-free pesto, then cover with the top bun.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy!
