Basil Burgers- YUM!
Taken from Family Fun Magazine- July Edition


for the burgers:
1 1/2 pounds ground chicken/turkey
3/4 cup grated sharp cheddar or 1/2 cup parmesan
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 ground pepper
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tbs pesto (store-bought or your own!)
6 burger rolls
lettuce
sliced tomatoes
oil for brushing the burgers

for the pesto may
1/2 cup mayo
2 tbs pesto

1. Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap, set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground meat, cheese, salt, & pepper, gently toss together until blended.
2. In a small bowl, mix mayo & pesto, then add ground meat mixture and combine until evenly blended. Shape the meat into six 1/2 inch-thick patties, placing each on baking sheet, cover w/ plastic wrap in refrigerate for 30 minutes. (these patties will be softer than traditional hamburgers)
3.While the meat is chilling, prepare the grill and make the pesto mayo. Then brush one side of each of the burger with a little oil and place them on the grill, oiled side down. Lightly brush oil on the other side of the burgers and cook them for 5 minutes on each side, turning once, or until meat is to desired pinkness (or doness) inside. Serve burgers with roll and top with pesto mayo.

enjoy!

Grilled Bananas
For each, cut a banana crosswise into 1/2 inch wide slices and place the slices in the center of a 18 inch sheet of foil. sprinkle banana w/ 2 tsp of brown sugar, 1/2 tsp of lemon juice, and a dash of cinnamon. Dot the banana with 1/2 tbsp of butter cut into pieces. Bring the long edges of the foil together and fold them together. Crimp the short ends together above the packet to form a handle; make sure all seams closed tightly. Use a long stick to place on a warm grill or campfire. Let cook for 15 to 30 minutes. Remove packet from heat, place on plate, and carefully open. Let it cool. Top the banana with vanilla ice cream, if you like!
