• 3 msk olive oil
• 1 1/4 lbs ground turkey
• 1/2 kopp chunky salsa

Anvisningar

1. Mix ground turkey (lean if available), 1/2 cup mild or medium chunky salsa, shallots, cilantro, 3 tablespoons oil, hot sauce, cumin, salt, and pepper in large bowl.
2. Shape turkey mixture into four 3 1/2 to 4" diameter patties on wax paper.
3. Heat cooking spray in large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Add burgers; cook until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Do not move around burgers until they have browned or they will fall apart.
5. Reduce heat to low. Cover pan and sauté burgers for 2 minutes.
6. Flip, and add a slice of low-fat cheese. Cover and sauté until burgers are cooked through and cheese is melted - another 2 minutes.
7. Arrange lettuce leaves on 4 plates. Top each lettuce leaf with a tomato slice and burger. If allowed, enjoy on a toasted whole wheat roll.
8. Note: these burgers freeze great - just put them between sheets of wax paper and throw them on the skillet for a quick and easy dinner! Also, you can try making 8 smaller burgers for kids or portion control.
