Instructions
Place garlic on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil.
Drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil. Wrap foil around garlic.
Bake at 425° for 15-20 minutes or until garlic is softened. Cool for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and pesto; set aside. In another small bowl, combine Italian seasoning and remaining oil; brush over bread. Set aside.
Squeeze softened garlic into a large bowl.
Add the honey, mustard, salt and pepper. Crumble turkey over mixture and mix well. Shape into two patties.
Grill, covered, over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until no longer pink. Grill bread for 1-2 minutes on each side or until toasted. Top each slice of bread with lettuce, burger, tomato, onion and 1 tablespoon mayonnaise mixture.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Malbec, Zinfandel
Turkey Burgers can be paired with Merlot, Malbec, and Zinfandel. Merlot will be perfectly adequate for a classic burger with standard toppings. Bolder toppings call for bolder wines, such as a malbec or peppery zinfandel. The Cotarella Sodale Merlot with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.

Cotarella Sodale Merlot
Deep purple in color, Sodale is redolant with inky black fruit, sweet spice, and mineral- all of which are woven together tighlty with a degree of finesse that calls its revered cousin, Montiano, to mind. On the palate the wine is juicy yet structured with abundant tannin that is polished and supple in texture. A balanced finish of medium length begs another sip and makes Sodale an indespensable everyday drinker.Pair Sodale with your mid-week supper, or a more carefully coordinated affair. A stuffed portobello mushroom, a slow-cooked Bolognese sauce, or a seared shell steak with frites and a red wine reduction would all pair beautifully with Sodale.
