Method

Prepare a grill for medium-heat cooking.

In a large bowl combine turkey, bread crumbs, grated onion, pesto and salt. Gently mix together until just combined.

Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions ­­— the mixture will be quite moist — and press into ¾-inch-thick patties.

Grill burgers and peppers on an oiled rack until browned on one side, about 5 minutes. Flip and grill on the other side, about 4 minutes.

Add cheese to burgers and place buns cut-side down on grill, cover and continue cooking until a thermometer reads 160°F and juices run clear, about 1 minute more.

Slice peppers into thick strips. Serve burgers on buns with fig spread, arugula, onion, pepper strips and chips (if using).
