Ingredients

• 200 grams Lean ground turkey
• 2 pieces Whole grain sandwich rolls
• 100 grams Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
• 1 small Onion
• 0.5 medium Red bell pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat mayonnaise
• 2 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
• 0 Olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Begin by finely chopping the onion and half of the red bell pepper.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with a spray of olive oil.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté them for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 4

Increase the heat slightly and add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula as it cooks.

Step 5

Season the turkey mixture with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium and sprinkle the reduced-fat cheddar cheese over the cooked turkey. Stir gently and let the cheese melt and mix through, about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Toast the whole grain sandwich rolls until lightly golden and warm.

Step 8

Spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat mayonnaise on each half of the toasted rolls.

Step 9

Place one romaine lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each roll.

Step 10

Spoon half of the turkey mixture over the lettuce on each sandwich roll.

Step 11

Close the sandwiches with the top halves of the rolls, slice in half if desired, and serve warm.
