Turkey and Cheddar Burgers

By dette

You will be amazed at how tender, juicy and flavorful these turkey burgers are: grated cheddar cheese, zucchini, and minced onion mixed in with the ground turkey help keep it moist.
Don't be tempted to press the burgers with a spatula when cooking. This common mistake actually robs the burgers of moistness by squeezing out the juices.

Ingredients

• 1 # ground skinless turkey breast
• 1 small zucchini, shredded
• 1/2 c. shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
• 1/4 c. minced re nion

Preparation

Step 1

Heat a nonstick ridged grill pan over medium-low heat.

Combine the turkey, zucchini, cheese, onion, salt, and pepper in a bowl until blended. Shape into four patties.

Grill the patties until bronwed on the outside and no longer pink in the center, about 7 minutes on each side.

Meanwhile whisk together the ketchup and mayonnise in a small bowl.

Layer the lettuce, burgers, and tomato slices on the bottoms of the hamburger buns. Top with the ketchup mixture, then the bun tops.
