Diet – Turkey Mozzarella Burgers

Sometimes there’s nothing better than the taste of a good cheeseburger. But the guilt that accompanies the pleasure can be enough to make even the hungriest carnivores steer clear. Using ground turkey instead of ground beef in your burgers is the easiest (and tastiest) way to take the guilt out of an indulgence. Here is a recipe for our favorite cheeseburger – the turkey mozzarella burger.

1 ¼ lbs. Lean Ground Turkey

2 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce

¼ C. Roasted Red Peppers (chopped)

¼ C. Onions (chopped)

8 Slices Mozzarella Cheese, Part Skim

¼ tsp. Salt

¼ tsp. Ground Pepper

Combine ground turkey, Worcestershire sauce, peppers and onions in a large mixing bowl, using your hands (be sure to wash before and after). Mix well. Divide the mixture into 8 equal parts and shape into patties. Dust patties with salt and ground pepper on each side. Grill or broil 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through. In the last 2 minutes, put mozzarella cheese slices on burgers so that the cheese melts. Serve!
