Turkey Bolognese Burgers
Ingredients:
- 1.25 lean ground turkey (I used Jennie-O)
- 8oz (1 package) baby portabella mushrooms, chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
- about 1 tsp garlic powder
- about 1 tsp dried oregano
- about 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes (or more if you want a kick!)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 TB egg whites (or 1 egg, beaten)
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- tomato sauce, (homemade or jarred - I used Newman's Own Tomato Basil for sake of time)
- mozzarella cheese, shredded or sliced
- French Hamburger Buns or Prudy's Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns
Directions:
- Turn broiler on.
- In large hot non-stick skillet, add mushrooms, onions and seasonings to about 2 tsps of olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook for about 10 minutes till vegetables are cooked down. Let cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl combine turkey, cooked vegetable mixture, egg whites and Parmesan. Mix gently but thoroughly. Add salt and pepper to taste. Form into 5 patties.
- Place on broiler rack about 8 inches from heat. Cook for about 20 minutes until browned. Add tomato sauce liberally on each patty. Add mozzarella cheese over sauce and place back under broiler. Cook for about another 5-7 minutes or until cheese is bubbling.
Serve on Toasted Garlic Buns.
To make Toasted Garlic Buns – Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over both sides of buns. Sprinkle with garlic powder and oregano. Place under broiler for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned. Keep an eye on them!
