Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup yellow onion diced
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper diced
- 1 clove garlic grated or minced
- 1 pound ground turkey or ground chicken, lean
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1 teaspoon basil dried
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 6 Buns
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Swirl to coat the bottom and then add in the onion, red bell pepper and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the ground turkey to the vegetable and crumble it with a wooden spoon. Add in the basil, oregano, red pepper flakes and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until the turkey is cooked through.
- Pour the marinara sauce, water and balsamic vinegar into the skillet and stir everything until combined. Bring to a simmer and then lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer and reduce for another 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- While the meat mixture is cooking, brush the inside of the buns with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder and salt. Toast or broil until golden brown.
- When the meat sauce has thickened stir in the parsley. Taste for seasoning then serve on the toasted buns topped with mozzarella cheese.
