Salt and Black pepper
6bread rolls / or ciabatta Rolls / I use a baton sliced

Instructions
In a large bowl mix together turkey mince, chopped spring onion, garlic, pesto and salt and pepper. If you have time - chill for for a few hours
Using damp hands shape into 6 patties (burgers) or if you want larger ones just 4.
In a large non stick frying pan - spray with fry light (or olive oil), fry the patties for 10-15 minutes ensuring you have lots of colour on outside and the patties are cooked through (NO PINK MEAT - CHECK!!!)
Cut the rolls in half, grill on one side or the bread, spread small amount of Pesto on top
Place the patties on the bun or bread, add a slice of mozzarella, a slice of beef steak tomato and a nice handful watercress and a few basil leaves, season (you could add slices avocado). Alternatively ditch the bun and serve with a nice big green fresh salad.
