Ingredients

8 ounces Italian turkey sausage
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
1 lb ground sirloin
cooking spray
6 slices fresh mozzarella cheese

Prepare grill.
Remove casings from sausage. Combine sausage, oregano, basil, salt, fennel seeds, and ground sirloin. Divide beef mixture into 6 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2 inch patty.
Place patties on a grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 5 minutes. Turn patties over; grill 2 minutes. Divide fresh mozzarella cheese evenly over patties, and grill an additional 5 minutes or until a thermometer registers 165 degrees. Remove from grill; let stand 5 minutes.
Place rolls, cut side down on grill rack; grill 1 minute or until toasted. Place 1 patty on bottom half, top with 2 tablespoons of sauce, and top with other half of roll.
Raw burgers freeze well.
