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

Directions

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
