Serve these easy turkey burgers for a family-friendly weeknight meal. Teriyaki sauce and onions add just the right pizazz to this low-calorie main dish. Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey breast |
2 teaspoons garlic powder |
1 teaspoon cajun seasoning |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
3 tablespoons light teriyaki sauce |
1 tablespoon water |
cooking spray |
1 large onion, cut into (1/4-inch-thick) slices (about 2 cups) |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
4 (1 1/2-ounce) hamburger buns |
8 (1/4-inch-thick) slices tomato |
4 curly leaf lettuce leaves |
Directions:
1. Combine the first 4 ingredients in a large bowl. Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each portion into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Combine the teriyaki sauce and water in a small bowl.
2. Place a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat until hot. Add the onion slices; cover and cook 10 minutes or until onion is golden brown, stirring frequently. Stir in 1 tablespoon teriyaki mixture. Remove onion from pan, and keep warm. Add olive oil to pan. Add patties, and cook 5 minutes over medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons teriyaki mixture to pan. Carefully turn patties over, and cook for 3 minutes or until golden. Place 1 patty on bottom half of each bun, and top each patty with 1/4 cup onion, 2 tomato slices, and 1 lettuce leaf. Top with remaining bun halves.
3. Note: You can freeze any uncooked turkey patties for up to 1 month. To freeze, separate the patties with wax paper; place them in a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag, remove excess air, seal, and freeze. Thaw in the refrigerator.
