Ingredients

• 1 pound Lean ground turkey
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Whole wheat burger buns
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato
• 1 medium Red onion
• 4 tablespoons Low-fat mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients gently with your hands or a spatula until just combined. Avoid over-mixing as this can make the burgers tough.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about the same diameter as your burger buns. Make a small depression in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Step 5

Slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds for topping the burgers.

Step 6

Place the turkey patties on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 7

During the last minute of grilling, lightly toast the whole wheat buns on the grill cut side down.

Step 8

To assemble the burgers, spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat mayonnaise and 1/2 tablespoon of Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each toasted bun.

Step 9

Place a lettuce leaf, a grilled turkey patty, a tomato slice, and a few onion rings on top of each bun. Finish with the top half of the bun.

Step 10

Serve the burgers immediately while they're hot and enjoy your healthy, low-fat classic grilled burger!
