How to Make Turkey Lurkey Teriyaki Burgers

This burger made from ground turkey is a healthy alternative to greasy hamburgers made from ground beef.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 1 1/2 pounds of ground turkey
• olive oil
• 1 piece of turkey bacon for each burger
• 1 whole wheat hamburger bun for each burger
• 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
• 1 egg
• mayo, mustard, ketchup
• red onion
• shredded cheddar cheese

1. In a large mixing bowl, mix the ground turkey with the teriyaki sauce and egg. Stir well. Form large patties.
2. In a hot skillet, drizzle a small amount of olive oil and place the patties in the skillet to cook.
3. In a small skillet or saucepan, slice the red onions and sauté in olive oil until tender.
4. Cook the bacon in the microwave. For the crunchiest bacon, wrap in paper towels and cook for one minute for each piece of bacon.
