Bruschetta turkey burger full of Babybel Mild cheese


Yes. That’s an exaggerated title for a recipe…but I’ve seriously considered adding additional descriptions.

When you try something like that, you just want to talk about it. You want to describe it well. You want to make sure everyone else can taste it through your words.

Seriously, there are almost no words when it comes to this burger.

Tastefully. Mediterranean Sea. Italian. Tomato dough. Charred. Melty. Sticky. Satisfactory. Sweet. Savory. Great. Fresh. Summery.

These are just a few of the words I came up with for this recipe from Iowa Girl Eats. As always, I made a few changes to make it work with what I had in the fridge… but this burger is my new favorite. I’ve only made one, but let me tell you…I can’t wait to make my next one.

Oh, and where’s the bun? I do not care. Didn’t need one. (Yes, it’s still me talking about it…) Although I love my bread, this burger stands on its own in the most delicious way. Try it and then tell me a few words about how it tastes. I know I missed a few….

Bruschetta turkey burger stuffed with Babybel Light cheese

Out of Iowa girl eats over peanut butter fingers

For 1 person

INGREDIENTS

Bruschetta ingredients

1 Roma tomato, chopped

1/2 tsp. Garlic, chopped

1/2 tsp. Extra virgin olive oil

3/4 tsp. balsamic vinegar

1 heaped tbsp. fresh basil, julienned

Salt and pepper to taste

Burger ingredients

4 oz. 99% lean ground Turkey breast

1/4 tsp. dried basil

2 TEA SPOONS. low-fat parmesan cheese

1 wheel Mini Babybel light cheese

salt and pepper

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

INSTRUCTIONS.

1. Mix all bruschetta ingredients in a small bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Taste and adjust the spices accordingly.

2. In a large bowl, combine turkey, salt, pepper, basil and Parmesan cheese. Divide the mixture into 2 portions.

3. Line the lid of a peanut butter jar with foil, then wrap with plastic wrap and press 1 portion of the turkey mixture into the lid. Add your slice of cheese to the center and then top with another portion of turkey. Press down to seal and then flip the patty over and place on a plate. Note: I used a food mold and it had the same effect. It was MUCH less messy than stuffing burgers like I usually do and made them more even! Great technology!
4. Grill burgers for 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through. Note: The cheese dripped out of me because I mashed it a little with a spatula… still delicious!
5. For the balsamic glaze: Heat balsamic vinegar in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer, stirring constantly, until the vinegar has reached the consistency of thin maple syrup. Note: I used the prepared balsamic glaze since I had it on hand.
6. Top grilled burgers with bruschetta and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
7. Prepare your palate.
