Ingredients

  • 1 small onion, grated
  • 1 large clove garlic, rasped
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) panko breadcrumbs
  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) Parmesan cheese, grated

  • 1 cup (250 mL) herb flavoured pasta sauce, divided
  • 4 large fresh basil leaves
  • 4 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, stir together onion, garlic and egg. Stir in breadcrumbs, cheese, oregano, salt and pepper. Add turkey and using hands mix together until evenly combined. Divide mixture into 4 and shape into oval patties about 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick.
