Yummmm Turkey Bugers- the fancy way

These turned out really delicious.  My mom is now on a low cholesterol diet and this was something she could have as well!

Recipe inspiration: http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/mozzarella_stuffed_turkey_burgers.html

However I'm a bit lazy we did not make our own marinara sauce- which im sure would have made it way better- but I knew i wouldn't have time.  However it's BBQ season.
How I made them:
  • 1 pound 93%-lean ground turkey
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1 tablespoons basil
  • 2 slices flat bread cut in half. 
Combined everything except the cheese, basil and flat bread.  Make 8 thin patties- place the cheese on top of one and cover with another.  There's no binder in these burgers and they do fall apart so handle with care.
We grilled on the burger and did take the time to oil the grill first- however these stuck like crazy so it did not seem to help at all. I do recommend grill with the lid down- they are quite thick and that helped get them cooking
 I took my store bought marinara sauce, heated up in a small pot while the burgers were grilling.  Toast the flat bread, pour on some marinara pop the burger on and top with a bit more sauce. We paired it up with a Caesar salad.
Servings: 4

Uh oh- are you wondering where our Olive Garden Alfredo recipe went? Well we didn't emd up making lunch- we spent too much time playing with the horses to make lunch.  Hoping to make it Monday or Tuesday.
