Credit: What's Cookin, Chicago
1 pound ground turkey
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
salt & pepper to taste
4 slices mozzarella cheese, each slice cut into quarters
1/4 cup pasta sauce - homemade or store bought
1/2 cup shredded romaine lettuce
12 dinner rolls, split and toasted (I used Whole Wheat Hawaiian rolls, nice and sweet)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl combine the ground turkey, all the spices, cheese and salt & pepper. Form large meatballs and flatten to create small patties.
Brown each patty on both sides in a skillet with a little oil and transfer the patties to a baking sheet.
Top all browned patties with a teaspoon of pasta sauce and a couple slices of cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for a few minutes until cheese begins to melt.
While the patties are baking, spread a teaspoon of pasta sauce on the bottoms of the split dinner rolls.
Transfer each patty onto the bottoms of the rolls and top the burgers with shredded lettuce and the tops of the dinner rolls. Serve immediately
Review: We loved these. They where very flavorful! The meat patties tended to want to fall apart, but overall a good, quick easy meal!

Siclian Meatloaf
Sicilian Meatloaf from OAMC
Ingredients:
2 pounds ground beef
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cups tomato juice
2 Tablespoons parsley
1/2 teaspoons oregano
1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoons pepper
8 slices boiled ham
6 ounces shredded Mozzarella cheese
Directions:
Mix first 7 ingredients, then add to beef, combine.
On wax paper form meat mixture into a 10×12″ rectangle. Line with ham and cheese. Roll and seal seam. Cut in half. Seal ends and seam well, otherwise the cheese will just ooze out all over the place. Place on a foil lined baking sheet and bake 1 hour 20 minutes at 350 degrees. (You may wish to freeze one at this point if you are not serving 8-12 people).
This makes a really big meatloaf, so you can either make 2 and freeze one or have lots of meatloaf sandwiches for the week.
Freezing Directions:
Follow directions but do not bake. Instead, wrap the meatloaf in wax paper and then plastic wrap. Place in a freezer bag until ready to use. To serve: Thaw. Unwrap and place on a foil lined baking sheet. Bake 1 hour 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
Review: This made plenty I made one loaf and froze another. I really enjoyed the flavors. I omitted the tomato juice because I did not have any. I also used Swiss cheese instead of mozzarella. I have also seen this recipe made with 1 lbs of ground beef and one pound of ground pork.
PS do not let the rolling prevent you from making this it was supper easy!
