When I think about summer holidays and food I tend to think of barbecues, grilling and burgers and with the first summer holiday coming up I was just itching to try out these sundried tomato caprese turkey burgers with balsamic caramelized onions. I recently came across the idea for sundried tomato burgers on Bev Cooks and given that I am a big fan of both the sundried tomatoes and the fresh basil that these burgers are stuffed with, they were a must make recipe! My first thought for these burgers was a caprese salad theme with tomatoes, basil, fresh mozzarella and balsamic vinegar and since the patties already included the tomatoes and basil all that was left was to top them off with some melted fresh mozzarella and some balsamic vinegar. Instead of just drizzling a balsamic reduction or glaze onto the burgers I caramelized some onions and added the balsamic vinegar to them before throwing them on top of the melted cheese! In my mind I burger just isn't a burger without some bacon so I fried up some pancetta (an Italian style bacon) until crispy and added it along with some cool and creamy slices of avocado. I finished the burgers off with a topping of fresh basil which adds even more summery goodness!
If you only try one new burger recipe this summer it should definitely be these sundried tomato caprese turkey burgers with balsamic caramelized onions! The sundried tomato turkey patties are moist and just packed with flavour, the salty pancetta goes perfectly with the sweet and tart balsamic caramelized onions and you can never go wrong with plenty of melted cheese!
