Spicy Italian Sausage Burger

Ingredients
Sandwich
• 4 Turano Gourmet Sandwich Rolls
• 4 Spicy Italian Sausages
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 4 slices provolone cheese
• Pecorino Romano
Red Sauce
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• ¾ cup tomato passata
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
Directions
① Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and after 8-10 minutes add the sliced peppers and season with salt and black pepper, and cook until softened and lightly caramelized. Optional to add white wine to mixture for added flavor. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
② Take the casings off of the Italian sausages and roll each sausage into a ball using your hands.
③ Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet or griddle, and place the sausages on the griddle and press down into a patty using a burger press. Cook the sausage patties for 4–5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
④ During the final minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of provolone cheese and cover until melted.
⑤ For the red sauce, slice one garlic finely, and add to a frying pan with oil. Once the garlic is cooked down to a golden brown, add the passata and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes before adding in the salt, pepper, and fresh basil. Cook for about 5-7 minutes.
⑥ Lightly toast the Turano Gourmet Sandwich Rolls. Add the red sauce to the top of the bottom bun, place each sausage patty on the bottom half of a Turano Gourmet Sandwich Roll and top generously with the sautéed peppers and onions. Add shaved pecorino romano on top and more red sauce as desired.
