Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams lean ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices low-fat cheddar cheese
- 8 pieces large iceberg lettuce leaves
- 1 large, sliced tomato
- 0.5 sliced red onion
- 4 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 4 slices pickles
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine lean ground turkey, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the meat to keep your burgers tender.
Divide the mixture into four equal parts and form them into patties about 1 cm thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and browned on the outside.
One minute before the patties are done, place a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the pan with a lid to allow the cheese to melt.
While the patties are cooking, prepare other condiments. Lay out large iceberg lettuce leaves to act as the 'buns'.
When the patties are done, assemble the lettuce wrap burgers. Start by placing a turkey patty with melted cheese onto one lettuce leaf.
Top each patty with a tomato slice, red onion rings, a few pickle slices, and a teaspoon of Dijon mustard.
Finish by covering the assembled burger with another lettuce leaf. Secure the wraps with a toothpick if needed, and serve immediately.
