FOOTBALL SEASON SAUSAGE SANDWICHES

      So the old gang is getting together to watch the old pigskin fly, eh?
      There's no better time than a football game to eat a sausage sandwich!
      This is a healthier, modified version of the traditional football fan
      favorite. 

           Ingredients

                1 pound extra lean ground beef 
                1/2 lb ground turkey breast 
                1/4 cup plain bread crumbs 
                1/2 cup skim milk 
                1-1/2 tsp dried oregano leaves 
                1 tsp fennel seed, crushed 
                1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes 
                1 large onion, halved, thinly sliced 
                1 large green bell pepper, seeded, thinly sliced 
                1 tbsp water 
                8 small Kaiser rolls 

           Directions

       In large bowl, combine ground beef, ground turkey, bread crumbs,
       milk, oregano, fennel, garlic powder and crushed red pepper. Mix
       well. Shape mixture into 8 patties, 1/2 inch thick.

       Spray large non-stick skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Heat over
       medium heat until hot. Add onion, bell pepper and water; cover and
       cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until vegetables are
       crisp-tender. Remove veggies from skillet and cover to keep warm. 

       Wipe skillet clean and spray again with cooking spray. Heat over
       medium heat until hot. Add patties and cook for about 12 minutes or
       until there is no pink in the center. Serve patties and veggies on
       Kaiser rolls. Top with barbecue sauce if you want, and serve with a
       football game.
