Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Whole wheat burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 medium Red onion
- 4 tablespoons Low-fat mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands or a spatula until just combined. Avoid over-mixing as this can make the burgers tough.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about the same diameter as your burger buns. Make a small depression in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.
Slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds for topping the burgers.
Place the turkey patties on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
During the last minute of grilling, lightly toast the whole wheat buns on the grill cut side down.
To assemble the burgers, spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat mayonnaise and 1/2 tablespoon of Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
Place a lettuce leaf, a grilled turkey patty, a tomato slice, and a few onion rings on top of each bun. Finish with the top half of the bun.
Serve the burgers immediately while they're hot and enjoy your healthy, low-fat classic grilled burger!
