Caprese Stuffed Burgers

Ingredients

1 pkg.	PERDUE® Fresh Ground Chicken (1 lb.)
1 small	tomato, seeded and sliced
3 tbsp.	chopped shallots
2 tbsp.	fresh basil, chopped
2 tsp.	Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp.	salt
1/8 tsp.	black pepper
4	chunks low-moisture mozzarella (1/2-ounce)
4	hamburger rolls
	Mozzarella slices, optional
	Tomato slices, optional
	Lettuce leaves, optional
	Fresh basil leaves, optional

Step one: Combine

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the ground turkey, tomato, shallots, basil, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Mix well but lightly; don’t crush the meat.

How to: Dicing and Mincing

Step two: Shape

Form 4 burgers and, with your thumb, make a pocket in the center of each burger. Insert a chunk of mozzarella into the pocket, then shape the burgers to enclose the cheese. Chill burgers 10 to 15 minutes.

TIP: Chilling before grilling helps to firm-up the meat and cheese so the cheese doesn’t melt before the meat is cooked through.

Step three: Grill

Heat a grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Grill the burgers about 5 to 8 minutes on each side or until no longer pink in center. Burgers are done when they feel firm to the touch and a meat thermometer inserted in the center reaches 170°F.

How to: Grilling

Step four: Assemble

Warm or lightly grill the hamburger rolls. Place a warm burger on each roll and top with the mozzarella slices, tomato slices, lettuce and basil leaves if desired.
