Ingredients

6 servings

1 pound 99% lean ground turkey
1 pound turkey sausage (sweet or spicy with casings removed (I used spicy))
1/3 cup panko bread crumbs
2 teaspoons ground basil
2 teaspoons ground oregano
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
8 ounces Asiago cheese
8 ounces Mozzarella cheese
6 whole wheat hamburger buns (for serving)
1 large red onion (halved and thinly sliced)
1 g reen bell pepper (thinly sliced)
1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps

Preheat a grill to medium-high. While the grill heats, make the burgers by placing the ground turkey, turkey sausage, bread crumbs, basil, oregano, fennel, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a large mixing bowl.
Gently mix with your fingers. Make sure the ingredients are fairly evenly incorporated, but do not compact the meat.
Shape into 6 patties, then grill on medium high until the bottoms are browned (about 5 minutes).
Flip and continue grilling until cooked through; about 5 additional minutes. When the burgers are almost ready, top with mozzarella and Asiago cheeses.
Meanwhile, place the veggie slices in a medium bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
Place in a grill basket and grill until softened and lightly charred, about 8 minutes, turning the veggies often so that they do not burn. Toast the buns as desired.
Serve burgers on the buns, topped with grilled veggies. Enjoy immediately.
