Today, I am making turkey burgers stuffed with goat cheese, sundried tomatoes, and basil. So good!
This is a very easy recipe to elevate a plain old turkey burger. The combination of goat cheese, sundried tomato and basil adds so much flavour! Fresh herbs were also included to increase flavour and nutrition. You’ll make these burgers again and again. A guaranteed instant favourite.
I cooked these turkey burgers on the stove top but you could also put them on the BBQ. If you’re going to BBQ them, chill them in the fridge for 30-60 minutes first. This will help them not fall apart on the grill.
I hope you try these Mediterranean Turkey Burgers!
