Ingredients
-
1 pound lean ground turkey
-
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
-
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
-
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
-
4 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced into 4 pieces
-
¼ cup mayonnaise
-
¼ cup chopped basil plus 1/3 cup basil leaves, divided
-
8 slices tomato (from 2 medium tomatoes)
-
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
-
4 whole-wheat buns, toasted
Directions
-
Combine turkey, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper in a medium bowl. Form into 4 equal patties, about 4 inches in diameter.
-
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and add the burgers. Cook for 4 minutes. Turn over and top each with a mozzarella slice. Cover and cook until an instant-read thermometer reaches 165 degrees F, another 3 or 4 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, stir mayonnaise and chopped basil together in a small bowl. Place tomato slices on a plate and drizzle with vinegar.
-
Spread about 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise mixture on the bottom of each bun. Top with a burger, two tomato slices and some basil leaves.
