Italian Style Turkey Burger




Italian Style Turkey Burger
From Eating for Life
Serves 4

4 portions lean ground turkey breast (about 1 pound)
1/2 C tomato sauce
1/2 C reduced-fat Parmesan cheese, grated, divided
1 T Italian seasoning
2 t Dijon mustard
4 portabella mushrooms
2 t olive oil
4 slices Italian bread
2 C marinara sauce
4 slices reduced-fat provolone cheese

Preheat broiler, also preheat grill.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, tomato sauce, 1/4 C Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and Dijon mustard. Form mixture into 4 portion-size patties.

Place turkey patties on hot grill and cook for about 6 minutes. Turn and cook until no longer pink in the center, about 6 more minutes.

Clean mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth. Remove and discard stem. Brush mushroom caps with olive oil. Place on hot grill and cook for 2 minutes, turn and cook 2 more minutes, set aside.

Place Italian bread slices on a baking sheet and place under a broiler until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes.

Top each toasted bread slice with a cooked turkey burger, a portabella mushroom, 1/2 C marinara sauce, and a slice of provolone. Place under broiler until cheese melts and sauce is warmed through, about 3 minutes. Top each with about 1 T of Parmesan cheese.
