Italian Turkey Burgers by Sandy     Print this Recipe

Comments

Juicy turkey burgers with Italian flair!  Here's what the Kid Kritics had to say about it: "Best food I ever tasted.  Made my taste buds ask for more.  Tastes delicious!  I tripped down a rainbow and at the bottom was a cloud of sauce.  I tried to catch it and take a bite and I fell to the bottom where the cheese caught me. Tell this [Healthy Recipe Mom] that she should give this to her children every day!"

Instructions

  1. 4 turkey burgers (thawed) by Shelton's

    With a knife carefully slice turkey burger lengthwise, almost completely in half.
  2. 4 slices mozzarella cheese

  3. 2 Tbsp chopped fresh basil

    Place one slice mozzarella cheese and 1/2 Tbsp basil inside the slit in each burger.
  4. 1 Tbsp Italian herb blend

    Sprinkle both sides of burgers with of Italian herb blend. Grill the burgers, turning once, until meat thermometer registers 165 degrees F. (About 8-10 minutes)
  5. 1/4 cup of marinara sauce

    Spread 1/4 cup marinara sauce on bottom half of bun and top with finished burger. Add other toppings if you wish.

Options

You can top this delicious burger with a slice of tomato, some fresh spinach leaves and a slice of onion - or stuff the burger with these! Serve with a side of steamed vegetables for a complete meal. Use sprouted grain or gluten-free burger buns.  Tip: Put your bun on the grill or in the toaster so the marinara sauce doesn't make the bun too soggy.  Or skip the bun and serve with marinara sauce and veggies or over pasta or spaghetti squash.
