Monterey Jack Turkey Burger Recipes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Yield: 8

Source: Weight Watchers

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lb ground turkey
• 2 Tbsp ketchup
• 4 shallots, minced (or 1 onion)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 2/3 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 8 slices turkey bacon
• 8 whole wheat hamburger buns
• 8 thick tomato slices
• 8 lettuce leaves

Steps:

1. Mix turkey, ketchup, shallots, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until blended but not over mixed. Gently stir in Monterey Jack cheese. With damp hands, shape turkey mixture into 8 (1/2 inch thick) patties.
2. Spray grill pan with nonstick spray and set on medium-high heat. An electric griddle or grill pan on the stove works great. The patties probably won't hold up on a BBQ.
   
   Cook patties until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, about 4 minutes per side. After burgers have cooked 2 minutes, add bacon to pan and cook until crisp, about 3 minutes per side.
