Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground turkey
6 clove garlic, minced
1 small onion, chopped
1 tsp italian seasoning
1 large egg
1/2 c italian bread crumbs
6 king's hawaiian dinner rolls
2 roma tomatoes
3 slice provolone cheese, cut in half
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
lettuce, optional
mayonnaise, optional

Steps:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, garlic, onion and Italian seasoning and blend well using your hands. Once blended, add egg and bread crumbs, blend until combined. Once combined, pat down into small patties (about 2-3-inches in diameter and about an inch or so thick).
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of Extra-Virgin Olive Oil in large skillet. Place patties in oil and cook for about 4 minutes. Gently and carefully turn the patties over and cook an additional 3-4 minutes.
3. While the meat is cooking, split the rolls in half horizontally. Place in toaster or oven and toast.
4. Once meat is cooked, place on paper-towel lined plate to drain off any grease.
5. Place turkey patty on the heel of the roll, add a slice of cheese, tomato and lettuce. Add mayonnaise on crown of bun if desired.
