For the turkey burgers
1 pound ground turkey (I used a 90/10 mix)
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (optional or use less if you like)
2 teaspoons granulated garlic or garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons fennel seeds, crushed a bit
1 egg
1 cup unseasoned panko crumbs
For the peperonata and putting it all together
3 bell peppers (red, yellow or orange or a combination)
1 medium onion
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
8 ounces tomato sauce
2 ounces ( 1/4 cup) water
1 tablespoon minced oregano leaves
3 tablespoons thinly sliced basil leaves
The seasoned turkey mixture
4 slices provolone cheese
4 of your favorite burger buns

1
Thoroughly combine all the ingredients, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. ( A little longer is better)
2
Core and seed the bell peppers and slice into thin strips. Peel the onion and slice thinly. Mince the garlic.
3
Heat the oil in a large saute pan and add the peppers. After a few minutes, add the sliced onion. Saute over medium heat until the peppers and onions soften. This could take about 10 minutes.
4
Add the garlic, salt and pepper and saute a few more minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.
5
Stir in the water and tomato sauce, bring up to a simmer and simmer with the pan partially covered until the peppers become very soft and the sauce thickens up a bit. Stir in the basil and oregano.
6
Form the turkey mixture into 4 patties and grill them on an oiled grill over medium heat. About a minute or two before the patties are done, place a slice of cheese on top.
7
Place the burgers on the buns and top with some of the peperonata.
