Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 slices Turkey bacon
- 4 slices Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 2 buns Whole-grain hamburger buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 avocado Avocado slices
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until seasonings are evenly incorporated.
Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a thin patty.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the turkey bacon slices in the skillet until crispy, about 3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
In the same skillet, cook the turkey patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and red onion into thin slices.
Begin assembling the burgers: on the bottom half of each whole-grain bun, place a few lettuce leaves, followed by two turkey patties stacked on top of each other.
Add the crispy turkey bacon on top of the cheese-covered patties.
Place the tomato slices, avocado slices, and red onion slices above the bacon.
Cap with the top bun and serve immediately.
