Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 4 slices Reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 Whole wheat hamburger buns
- 4 slices Turkey bacon
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 small Onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- Olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your grill or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
In a bowl, gently mix ground turkey with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
Spray the preheated grill or skillet lightly with olive oil cooking spray. Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and onion into thin slices.
In another skillet, cook the turkey bacon slices over medium heat until they are crispy, about 5 minutes. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess fat.
When the patties are nearly done, place a slice of reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese on each patty and cover with a lid or tent with foil to allow the cheese to melt.
Toast the whole wheat hamburger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a turkey patty with melted cheese.
Top each burger with a slice of turkey bacon, several tomato slices, and onion rings.
Cap with the top bun half and serve immediately.
