Cook the Patties:
Preheat a skillet or grill over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Place a slice of mozzarella cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

In a saucepan, heat the marinara sauce over low heat. Stir in the Italian seasoning and let it simmer for a few minutes.
Assemble the Burgers:
Place the bottom half of each toasted burger bun on a plate. Add a cooked patty with melted mozzarella. Spread a spoonful of the ricotta mixture over the patty. Top with warm marinara sauce and two slices of crispy turkey bacon.
Serve:
Cover with the top bun and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh basil if desired. Enjoy your Bacon Lasagna Burger, a perfect fusion of Italian and American flavors!
