Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground turkey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 4 slices Low-fat cheddar cheese slice
- 8 leaves Large lettuce leaves
- 1 medium, sliced Tomato
- 0.5 small, thinly sliced Red onion
- 8 slices Pickles
- 2 tablespoons Mustard
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine lean ground turkey, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until evenly seasoned.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the turkey patties to the skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until completely cooked through and golden brown.
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet. Let the cheese melt for about 1 minute.
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
To assemble, lay 2 large lettuce leaves on a plate, slightly overlapping.
Place one turkey patty on the lettuce, then top with slices of tomato, red onion, and pickles.
Drizzle with mustard and ketchup to taste.
Wrap the lettuce leaves around the patty and fillings, either folding or rolling them to secure the burger.
Repeat the assembly process for the remaining patties.
Serve each lettuce-wrapped cheeseburger immediately and enjoy your low-fat meal!
