1
In a large bowl, mix all burger patty ingredients together with your hands to incorporate well.

Form into 4 patties.

Heat a large skillet on medium to medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray.
4
Place all 4 patties in the pan and put the lid on it to steam.
5
Cook burgers on each side for 3-4 minutes, or until cooked all the way through.

I think having the lid on the pan made the burgers stay juicy.

Top burger with pesto and roasted red peppers and serve on a bun.
