Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground turkey
- 4 whole wheat burger buns
- 4 fresh lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 low-fat cheddar cheese slices
- 100 grams low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until the ingredients are well incorporated. Be careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the turkey mixture into four equal parts and gently shape each into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick. Using your thumb, make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the patties. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature of each patty reaches 165°F (74°C).
Place a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking, covering the skillet to help the cheese melt.
While the patties are cooking, mix the low-fat Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard in a small bowl to create a simple, tangy burger sauce.
Toast the whole wheat buns lightly, either on the grill or in a toaster.
To assemble each burger, spread some of the Greek yogurt and mustard sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked turkey patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and a few rings of red onion. Cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low fat classic burger.
