- Marinara Sauce
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups chopped plum tomatoes, with juices
- 6 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- Burgers
- 1 lb ground turkey (93% lean)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped scallion
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 slices focaccia bread, toasted (4-inch square slices, about 2 ounces each)
Method
- Marinara-heat oil in medium saucepan over medium heat; add onion and garlic; cover and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in fresh tomatoes and any juices, sun-dried tomatoes, salt and pepper; bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes have broken down, 8-10 minutes.
- Stir in basil and remove from the heat; transfer to a food processor and pulse to form a coarse-textured sauce.
- Return to the pan and set aside.
- Burgers-place turkey, scallions, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, lemon zest, oregano, pepper, and salt in a large bowl.
- Gently combine, without overmixing, until evenly incorporated.
- Form into 8 thin patties about 4 inches wide and 3/8 inch thick.
- Combine 1/4 cup cheese and basil and place an equal amount in the center of 4 patties.
- Cover with the remaining patties and crimp the edges closed.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add burgers and cook, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reads 165°, 8-10 minutes.
- Reheat the marinara on the stove.
- To assemble the burgers, spread 3 tablespoons marinara on each toasted focaccia, top with a burger, about 3 more tablespoons marinara and 1 tablespoon remaining cheese.
