Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef or turkey (85% lean)
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 8 leaves Large iceberg or romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato, sliced
• 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 medium Avocado, sliced
• 0.25 cup Low-sodium mustard
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef or turkey with onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix as this can make the burgers tough.

Step 2

Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4-inch thick. Press a small indentation into the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 4

Place the patties in the skillet or on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the burgers and continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for beef or 165°F (74°C) for turkey.

Step 5

Remove the patties from the skillet or grill once cooked, and let them rest for a couple of minutes.

Step 6

While the patties are resting, prepare the lettuce wraps by gently washing and drying the lettuce leaves. You can use two leaves per burger if you want extra crunch and structural integrity.

Step 7

Assemble the lettuce wrap burgers: Place a cooked patty on one or two lettuce leaves, then top with a slice of tomato, some red onion slices, and avocado slices.

Step 8

Drizzle or spread a small amount of low-sodium mustard on top of the avocado.

Step 9

Wrap the lettuce leaves around the fillings, securing them on the bottom to form a pouch around the burger.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, low sodium lettuce wrap burgers!
