Step 1
In a bowl, mix together the turkey, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined. Shape the mixture into four even patties. Heat up your grill to medium-high and give the grates a light oiling so the burgers don’t stick. Cook the patties for about 4 minutes on each side. When you flip them the second time, lay a slice of provolone on each patty and let it melt while the burgers finish cooking. While the cheese is melting, toss your ciabatta rolls on the grill for a couple of minutes until they’re nicely toasted. In a small bowl, stir together the mayo and pesto until smooth, then spread this tasty sauce on the toasted rolls. Finally, assemble your burgers with the turkey patties, some sliced red onion, and a few leaves of lettuce. Enjoy!
