Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey (93% lean)
- 4 slices Monterey Jack cheese
- 4 whole wheat burger buns
- 0.5 red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 tomato (sliced)
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 spray olive oil cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the surface with olive oil cooking spray.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing to prevent tough burgers.
Step 3
Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4-inch thick.
Step 4
Place the patties on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature of the burgers reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 5
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Monterey Jack cheese on each patty and cover with a lid or foil. Let the cheese melt.
Step 6
Toast the whole wheat burger buns lightly on the grill, about 1 minute.
Step 7
Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by a turkey patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, a few slices of red onion, and then the top bun.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, Weight Watchers-friendly Monterey Jack Turkey Burger!
