12 oz ground turkey breast
1/4 cup prepared pesto sauce
1 lg egg white
1/4 cup finely chopped Vidalia or other sweet onion
3 Tbsp Italian-style bread crumbs
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
8 whole-wheat slider rolls (1.3 oz each)
1 lg plum tomato, cut into 8 slices
Heat broiler or grill. Coat the rack with cooking spray and line the broiler pan (if using) with foil.
Combine turkey, pesto, egg white, onion, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix gently without overworking. Form into 8 patties and set on the prepared rack.
Broil patties 4 minutes per side. Top each with 1 tablespoon of the cheese and broil 10 to 15 seconds longer, or until cheese melts.
Set 2 roll bottoms on each of 4 plates. Top each with a burger and a tomato slice. Top with remaining halves of the rolls.
