Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

Vegetable oil, for oiling the grill grates
1 1/2 pounds ground beef sirloin
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
1 garlic clove, grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 slices provolone cheese
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
4 seeded hamburger buns, split
Fresh basil leaves, for topping
Giardiniera, for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
  • Gently mix the beef, oregano, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl until just combined.
  • Shape the meat into 4 6-ounce patties, about 5-inches in diameter. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty and lightly sprinkle the outside of the patties with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium, adding a slice of cheese to each burger during the last minute of cooking.
  • Mix the mayonnaise and balsamic vinegar together in a small bowl. Quickly toast the buns on the grill for about 1 minute and then spread with some of the mayonnaise mixture. Top with a burger and then some fresh basil leaves. Serve with giardiniera on the side.

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb lean ground turkey
1/4 cup egg substitute
1/4 cup dry Italian breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon oregano (Fresh greek or italian -minced)
2 teaspoons italian basil (fresh minced)
1 -2 minced garlic clove (depending on your taste)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (may want to use less if you are sensitive to heat spices)
2 tablespoons romano cheese (Freshly grated, pecorino romano or any paremesan type cheese will do)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
8 slices hard salami
1 cup shredded light mozzarella cheese
Italian bread (good crusty type or Ciabatta)
olive oil (preferrably E.V.O.O., Extra Virgin)
prepared marinara sauce

Steps:

  • Combine the ground turkey and the first 9 ingredients well - then, divide evenly and shape into burger patties, cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
  • Cover a cookie sheet with tin foil, or - place a silpat on a cookie sheet & preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place the salami slices evenly (but not touching) on the covered cookie sheet. Bake salami in the 325 degree oven for 15 minutes - then, transfer salami slices to a plate covered with paper towels to absorb the excess oils.
  • Grill burgers either on a hot outdoor grill, or cast iron stove top grill - approximately 5 minutes per side for medium rare - longer for well done (whatever your preference may be). Slice the Italian bread or Ciabatta into even slices - enough for 2 slices per patty & brush or use your 'misto' sprayer on one side with E.V.O.O. (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)& grill (oil side down) to get the grill prints on the bread. Once Burgers are cooked, remove to a platter where they can rest for approximately 5 minutes. Remove grilled Bread and place 1/4 cup of the shredded light Mozzarella cheese, then the Burger, then the Salami (2 slices per burger). You can then serve the burgers with either a very good prepared Marinara Pasta Sauce or your favorite condiment.

GRILLED ITALIAN BURGERS

When all I had available was ground beef and I was tired of plain-old hamburgers, I invented these. A good dose of Italian seasonings and mozzarella makes them unique. They're perfect with homemade French fries for a quick meal. -Rebekah Beyer, Sabetha, Kansas

ITALIAN MEATBALL BURGER
