  • SERVINGS

    4

 

1/4
cup refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed
1/4
cup quick-cooking rolled oats
4
teaspoons snipped fresh oregano
1/8
teaspoon salt
1/8
teaspoon black pepper
1
pound ground turkey breast
4
thin slices provolone cheese (2 ounces)
1/2
cup Muir Glen® pasta sauce
4
whole wheat hamburger buns, split and toasted
  • 1 In a medium bowl, combine egg product, oats, 2 teaspoons of the oregano, the salt, and pepper. Add ground turkey breast; mix well. Shape turkey mixture into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.
  • 2 For a charcoal grill, place patties on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill for 14 to 18 minutes or until no longer pink (165°F), turning once halfway through grilling and topping each burger with a cheese slice for the last minute of grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place burgers on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.)
  • 3 Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, cook pasta sauce until heated though.
  • 4 Place burgers on bun bottoms. Top burgers with pasta sauce, the remaining 2 teaspoons oregano, and the bun tops.
