Cheese anyone?

Well friends, it's been a while!  This is a much over-due blog post!  Blogging has been the lowest on my list of priorities these days.  Between getting work done on the outside of the house and the kids having gastro, it's been a bit crazy around here!  So it's actually been a while since I made these mozzarella-stuffed turkey burgers, but I told some of you that I would post it, so here it goes!  They are really very, very tasty so I hope you enjoy!

Mozzarella-Stuffed Turkey Burgers

Ingredients:

1 lb lean ground turkey

1/4 cup whole wheat bread crumbs (or rolled oats)

2 tsp minced garlic

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt

2 thickly sliced slices of mozzarella cheese block (cut each in half)

4 hamburger buns (of your choice)

Directions:

1. Combine gently the turkey, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, pepper and salt.

2.  Form into 8 thin burgers.

3.  Place a thick slice of cheese in the middle of 4 of the burgers then cover with the other 4 burgers and press down the edges to seal tightly.

4.  Grill the burgers over a medium-high preheated grill (or in a fry pan), flipping once, until thoroughly cooked and no longer pink inside (approximately 8-10 mins.)

5.  Serve inside slightly warmed burger buns and top as desired!

For a slightly spicier burger, feel free to add salsa or jalapeno peppers to your turkey mixture.  Top with a slice of pepper jack cheese, more salsa, and some avocado!  Mmmm...my mouth is watering already!
