Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Leaning Towers

    In a large bowl, mix the ground turkey, whole wheat flour, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Towers

    Form the mixture into small, tall patties resembling towers. Make sure they’re about 2 inches wide and 3 inches tall.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown.

  4. 4

    Layer with Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

  5. 5

    Serve with Sauce

    Remove the patties from the skillet and stack them on a plate. Drizzle with marinara sauce and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
