Turkey is another source of lean protein you'll want to take advantage of, and it doesn't hurt that it makes for a surprisingly good burger. So, if you've overdone it on the red meat this week, try these turkey burgers instead.

Ingredients 

1 lb lean ground turkey

1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon

1 Tbsp prepared pesto sauce

1/2 cup whole-wheat panko bread crumbs

1/2 tsp kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper to taste

4 whole wheat hamburger buns

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 Tbsp Sriracha hot sauce

1 Tbsp pickle relish

Salt and pepper, to taste

How to make it 

Preheat outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high.

In a large bowl combine turkey, bacon, pesto, panko, salt, and pepper; mix gently with a fork. With clean hands, form into 4 burgers.

Place burgers on grill or grill pan. Cook burgers for 6-7 minutes per side or until cooked through.

While burgers are cooking, make the yogurt sauce. In a bowl, mix yogurt, Sriracha, relish, salt, and pepper until well-combined.

Serve burgers in whole wheat buns, top with Sriracha-yogurt sauce and any other desired toppings.
