Italian Meatball Burger image

For lighter grilling try this spicy burger which freezes well. This came from Cooking Light. I always have leftover Italian turkey sausage after making a batch of these for my freezer, so I use the leftover sausage to make Recipe#244750.

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces Italian turkey sausage
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
1 lb ground sirloin
cooking spray
6 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
2 ounces italian bread rolls, split
3/4 cup fat-free tomato sauce

Steps:

  • Prepare grill.
  • Remove casings from sausage. Combine sausage, oregano, basil, salt, fennel seeds, and ground sirloin. Divide beef mixture into 6 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2 inch patty.
  • Place patties on a grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 5 minutes. Turn patties over; grill 2 minutes. Divide fresh mozzarella cheese evenly over patties, and grill an additional 5 minutes or until a thermometer registers 165 degrees. Remove from grill; let stand 5 minutes.
  • Place rolls, cut side down on grill rack; grill 1 minute or until toasted. Place 1 patty on bottom half, top with 2 tablespoons of sauce, and top with other half of roll.
  • Raw burgers freeze well.
