Ingredients

• 1 pound Lean ground turkey
• 4 pieces Whole wheat hamburger buns
• 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 4 slices Low-fat cheddar cheese slices
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato, sliced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine lean ground turkey, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 2

Divide the turkey mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.

Step 4

Place the turkey patties in the skillet and cook for approximately 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Step 5

During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on each patty and cover with a lid to melt the cheese.

Step 6

While the patties are cooking, prepare the sauce by mixing low-fat mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl.

Step 7

Toast the whole wheat hamburger buns lightly if desired.

Step 8

To assemble the burgers, spread a tablespoon of the mayonnaise-mustard mixture on the bottom half of each bun.

Step 9

Layer with one lettuce leaf, a cooked turkey patty with melted cheese, and a slice of tomato.

Step 10

Place the top bun on the assembled ingredients and gently press down.

Step 11

Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite low-calorie side, such as a salad or baked sweet potato fries.
