Challenges
Turn burger right on its head by swapping to lower-fat ground turkey and whipping up a few Asian-inspired toppings. Keep an eye on your instant-read thermometer to cook these turkey burgers to the perfect temperature.
Prep/Cook Time: 25 Minutes, Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 pound uncooked ground turkey breast
- 1 cup finely chopped fresh mushrooms
- ¼ cup chopped sweet onion
- ¼ cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 4 whole-wheat bagel thins, toasted
- ½ cup shredded napa cabbage
Directions
- In a medium bowl, combine the turkey, mushrooms and onion. Form into four ½-inch-thick patties. In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and hoisin sauce; set aside.
- For a charcoal grill, place patties on the grill rack directly over medium coals. Grill, uncovered, for 10 to 13 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into side of each patty registers 165°F, turning once halfway through grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place patties on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.)
- For each serving, spread a bagel thin with one-fourth of the mayonnaise mixture. Top with a turkey burger and one-fourth of the napa cabbage.
