Pizza Burgers

Submitted by mliss29

"From the Food section of the Kansas City Star (though they say they adapted it from Woman's Day magazine.) It would make 8 patties, but 7 fit in my cast-iron skillet."

 

• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Serves: 7-8

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs ground turkey
• 1⁄2 cup parmesan cheese
• 1⁄2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
• 7 ounces pizza sauce (about 1/2 a can)
• 8 tablespoons mozzarella cheese, shredded

directions

1. Combine the ground turkey, parmesan cheese, and bread crumbs and shape into 7-8 patties.
2. Fry in a little canola oil, turning occasionally, for about 6 minutes. (I think it takes longer, but that's what their's says.).
3. Top patties with pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese. Cover and cook for 1 minute to melt the cheese.
4. Serve on hamburger buns.

This made a great lunch!! Wanted to do this on the BBQ but started to rain - so made it on our George Foreman grill. Grilled the patties added a slice of mozzarella cheese at the end and added the pizza sauce (that we heated a bit in the microwave before) when we served them! Thanks mliss29! :)

Made these for my boys for lunch. I used ground beef instead of turkey as that is all I had. My boys enjoyed them and they were easy to make. I made them on the grill.

This was a super easy lunch because I had leftover burgers from a dinner earlier in the week. I took the cold burgers, topped with parmesan cheese then sauce in a casserole dish and let them warm for 15 minutes in the oven. Then I sprinkled cheese on top and baked about 4 minutes more, until it was melted. If I was making this without the leftovers, I would definatly put some onion powder, garlic powder, seasoning salt, worcheshire sauce and an egg in with the meat mixture, no one has good "tasters" around here so I need to season everything well, but other then that I think this is a fine recipe. thanks for posting!

Just wonderful and so easy, perfect for us right now and all times in the future that we want a healthful snack or a quick lunch. As it happened I had ground turkey in the freezer, defrosted added homemade breadcrumbs and parm cheese. Held together nicely and added a wonderful taste to the ground turkey. I used a non stick skillet with some cooking spray and browned it nicely. After that was done, I chose to add some mushrooms and sliced onion that I also warmed up in the pan with cooking spray. I didn't have a roll so just served it open faced topped with the pizza sauce, onion, mushroom, and fresh mozzarella cheese. I put the whole sandwich under the broiler for 4 minutes to warm and brown the top of bit. Certainly a bit of heaven here, absolutely terrific......Thank you mliss!

This is a great recipe, and especially when you are wanting something pretty quick and easy to make, but not just the same old burger. Thanks for the great recipe.
