Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Marinara sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
- 4 pieces Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until well combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Step 2
Divide the turkey mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place the burger patties into the pan.
Step 4
Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on one side, then flip them carefully. Cook for another 5 minutes on the other side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 5
In the last few minutes of cooking, spread about 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce on top of each patty and sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Step 6
Cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on the bottom halves of the hamburger buns.
Step 8
Top each patty with two slices of pepperoni and a fresh basil leaf (optional). Add the top halves of the buns.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your Pizza Turkey Burgers with a side of salad or fries!
