Ingredients
- 400 grams lean ground turkey
- 4 slices low-fat cheddar cheese
- 4 slices turkey bacon
- 4 whole wheat hamburger buns
- 0.5 large onion
- 1 tomato
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 spritz olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
Step 2
Divide the seasoned turkey mixture into four equal portions and form each portion into a patty.
Step 3
Spray a non-stick skillet with olive oil spray and heat over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Cook the turkey patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the patties and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, cook the turkey bacon slices until they are crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Place them on paper towels to drain any excess fat.
Step 6
While the bacon is cooking, slice the onion into thin rings and the tomato into slices.
Step 7
To assemble the burgers, start by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked turkey patty.
Step 8
Place a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on top of each patty while it's still warm to slightly melt the cheese.
Step 9
Next, add a piece of crispy turkey bacon on top of the cheese.
Step 10
Finish assembling by adding several rings of onion and a slice of tomato.
Step 11
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately while warm.
