Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Whole grain burger bun
- 200 grams Lean ground turkey
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoons Avocado oil
- 2 slices Low-sodium turkey bacon
- 2 slices Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 2 leaves Leafy green lettuce
- 4 slices Sliced tomatoes
- 2 rings Sliced red onion
- 0.5 pieces Avocado
- 1 teaspoons Fresh lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 slices Low-sodium pickles
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the lean ground turkey with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined. Form the mixture into two equal-sized burger patties.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat and brush with avocado oil. Cook the turkey patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
While the patties cook, grill the turkey bacon in a separate skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Add a slice of reduced-fat cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the final minute of cooking, allowing it to melt slightly.
Mash the half avocado in a small bowl with fresh lime juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper to make a simple guacamole spread.
Lightly toast the whole grain burger buns in the toaster or oven until warmed through.
Assemble the X-Tudo by spreading 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each bun. Layer each bun with a lettuce leaf, turkey patty with melted cheese, a slice of turkey bacon, 2 slices of tomato, 1-2 red onion rings, 1 slice of pickle, and a dollop of guacamole. Add the top bun to complete the sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy X-Tudo packed with wholesome and delicious ingredients!
