Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Lean ground turkey
- 4 slices Turkey bacon
- 120 g Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 4 pieces Whole wheat burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Low-fat mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Mustard
Instructions
Preheat your grill or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
In a bowl, combine the ground turkey, salt, and pepper, and mix gently until just combined.
Divide the turkey mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty.
Cook the turkey bacon slices in the skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
Grill or cook the turkey burger patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Place a slice of reduced-fat cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt slightly.
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and onion into thin rings.
Toast the whole wheat burger buns lightly on the grill or in the skillet until they are golden brown.
To assemble the burgers, spread a tablespoon of low-fat mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.
Place a lettuce leaf on top of the mayonnaise, followed by the cheesy turkey patty.
Add a slice of crispy turkey bacon on top of the patty.
Layer with a couple of tomato and onion rings, then finish with a drizzle of mustard and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat cheese and bacon burger!
