Recipe by Bruce Weinstein These saucy, family-friendly burgers might be best eaten with a knife and fork. If you'd like to go bunless, serve over spaghetti with extra sauce. We enjoyed these with a side of macaroni salad.

Ingredients

  • 6 (1.5-ounce) frozen ciabatta rolls with rosemary and olive oil
  • 8 ounces sweet turkey Italian sausage
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pound ground sirloin
  • Cooking spray
  • 1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded sharp provolone cheese
  • 6 large basil leaves
  • 6 tablespoons lower-sodium marinara sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Bake rolls according to package directions. Split rolls.
  3. Remove casings from sausage. Combine sausage, chopped basil, and next 5 ingredients (through ground sirloin) in a medium bowl. Divide beef mixture into 6 equal portions with moist hands, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Press thumb in center of each patty, leaving a nickel-sized indentation.
  4. Place patties on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 6 minutes. Turn patties over; grill 2 minutes. Sprinkle cheese evenly over patties, and grill 6 minutes or until a thermometer registers 160 °. Remove from grill; let stand 5 minutes.
  5. Place 1 basil leaf on bottom half of each roll; top each with 1 patty, 1 tablespoon marinara sauce, and roll top.
