Ingredients

For prep: (serves 8)

  • 2 lbs 93/7 ground turkey, or you can use lean ground beef (this makes 8 4-oz burgers)*
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic Powder

For the Burger: (serves 1)

  • 1 Brioche bun
  • 1 turkey burger patty, 4-oz (90-100 g cooked)
  • 2 tsp Goat cheese chevre (10 g)
  • 2 Tbsp Dairy-free herb pesto (30 g) (RECIPE LINK)
  • 1 Thick slice of tomato (40 g)
  • 2 Slices of fresh peach (If not in season, I like a thin slice of ripe pear!) (30 g)
  • 1 Tbsp Thinly sliced red onion (10 g)
  • 1 Slice of bacon, cooked (We love Costco’s precooked!)
  • 1 tsp Balsamic glaze (5 g)
  • Arugula, greens, or microgreens

Instructions

  • Weigh meat into 4-oz balls and place them on a plate or sheet pan. Sprinkle the tops liberally with kosher salt and season with a pinch of garlic powder and cracked pepper.
  • Heat a large cast-iron or other heavy-bottomed pan with a mist of oil over high heat (you want one that gets nice and hot). Place the seasoned side of the balls down with room to spread. Make sure it’s hot enough that you hear a good sizzle!
  • Smash each ball very flat with a spatula, using a small piece of parchment paper on top of the meat to keep the spatula from sticking. Let them cook for about 2-3 minutes, seasoning the tops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before you flip and cook for another 2 minutes. (We prefer a pan instead of the grill since ground turkey can be so soft.)
  • To build your burger, toast your bun in a skillet or the broiler with a little spritz of oil. Spread herb pesto on the bottom bun, then layer on the burger, goat cheese, tomato, peaches, red onion, bacon, balsamic glaze, and greens. Add the top bun, and enjoy!

Notes

I’m using 93/7 ground turkey labeled 8 fat and 22 protein for 4 oz.
I'm using St. Pierre Brioche Burger buns labeled 150 cal, 3 fat, 25 carbs, and 5 protein.
I love to hollow out my top bun after toasting so it will nestle on top just right and leave more room for the toppings! It also shaves off a few carbs, leaving a little more room for something else. But my macros include the whole bun of course!
