Biggest Loser BLT Burgers

  • 4

Ingredients

  • 4 strips extra-lean turkey bacon, each cut in half
  • 1 pound 96% lean ground beef
  • 4 whole grain or whole wheat hamburger buns, split
  • 1 cup chopped fresh spinach leaves
  • 4 large or 8 to 12 small thin tomato slices
  • 4 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

Preheat a grill to high heat.

Place a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the bacon strips. Cook
for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until crisp. Remove from pan and cover to keep warm.

Grill the burgers for about 2 minutes per side for medium rare, or until desired doneness
(do not smash the burgers with a spatula). Place the bun halves, cut sides down, away
from direct flame on the grill until toasted, about 20 seconds.

Place each toasted bun bottom on a plate. Top with the spinach, tomato, patties, then 2
pieces of bacon each. Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise evenly on each bun top, flip
atop the patties, and serve.
