Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams lean ground turkey
- 4 slices low-fat cheddar cheese
- 4 slices turkey bacon
- 4 whole wheat hamburger buns
- 0.5 large onion
- 1 tomato
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 spritz olive oil spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
Divide the seasoned turkey mixture into four equal portions and form each portion into a patty.
Spray a non-stick skillet with olive oil spray and heat over medium-high heat.
Cook the turkey patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the patties and set aside.
In the same skillet, cook the turkey bacon slices until they are crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Place them on paper towels to drain any excess fat.
While the bacon is cooking, slice the onion into thin rings and the tomato into slices.
To assemble the burgers, start by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked turkey patty.
Place a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on top of each patty while it's still warm to slightly melt the cheese.
Next, add a piece of crispy turkey bacon on top of the cheese.
Finish assembling by adding several rings of onion and a slice of tomato.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately while warm.
