Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 4 strips turkey bacon
- 4 pieces whole wheat hamburger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce
- 1 large tomato
- 1 small onion
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Chop the turkey bacon into small pieces.
Step 3
In a non-stick pan, add turkey bacon pieces and cook over medium heat until crisp. Remove and set aside.

Step 5
Form the mixture into four equally sized patties.
Step 6
Lightly brush each patty with olive oil to prevent sticking to the grill.
Step 7
Place the patties on the preheated grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
While the burgers are cooking, slice the tomato and onion into thin rounds.
Step 9
Lightly toast the whole wheat hamburger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes.
Step 10
To assemble the burgers, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on each bun base, then add lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, the turkey patty, and top with the bun.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat bacon cheddar burger!
