This recipe was one of my favorites before I went all South Beach. It’s from an old Cooking Light Cookbook. I still make them, but I leave out the bread crumbs and don’t have a bun. We like to top them with some extra sauce whether they’re on the bun or not. Hey Leann, didn’t I serve this to your family once?

4 (1 1/2-ounce) Italian rolls, split lengthwise
 Olive oil-flavored cooking spray
1 garlic clove, halved
1 pound ground turkey
1/2 cup low-fat spaghetti sauce
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 (1-ounce) slices part-skim mozzarella cheese, cut in half
1.Preheat broiler. Place rolls, cut sides up, on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Lightly coat cut sides of rolls with cooking spray. Broil 2 minutes or until lightly toasted. Rub garlic evenly over cut sides of rolls. Set aside; keep warm.Combine turkey and next 5 ingredients (turkey through parsley). Divide mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping into 1/2-inch-thick patties. Place on broiler pan; broil 7 minutes on each side or until done. Place burgers on bottom halves of rolls; top each with 1/2 cheese slice; broil 1 minute or until cheese melts. Cover with tops of rolls.
