Ingredients

• 1 pound Lean ground turkey
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 4 slices Turkey bacon
• 4 slices Low-fat cheddar cheese
• 2 buns Whole-grain hamburger buns
• 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Tomato
• 0.5 small Red onion
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 avocado Avocado slices

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until seasonings are evenly incorporated.

Step 2

Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a thin patty.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Cook the turkey bacon slices in the skillet until crispy, about 3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Step 5

In the same skillet, cook the turkey patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 6

In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

Step 7

While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and red onion into thin slices.

Step 8

Begin assembling the burgers: on the bottom half of each whole-grain bun, place a few lettuce leaves, followed by two turkey patties stacked on top of each other.

Step 9

Add the crispy turkey bacon on top of the cheese-covered patties.

Step 10

Place the tomato slices, avocado slices, and red onion slices above the bacon.

Step 11

Cap with the top bun and serve immediately.
