A juicy ground turkey patty seasoned with garlic and smoked paprika, grilled and tucked into a toasted whole wheat bun with crisp lettuce, tomato, and a smear of mustard. 560 calories with 38g of protein per serving.
Ingredients
- 1 cup ground turkey (93% lean)
- 1 whole wheat burger bun
- 1 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 lettuce leaf
- 2 slices tomato
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine the ground turkey, panko, garlic, smoked paprika, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper in a bowl with your hands until just mixed.
- Form the mixture into a patty slightly wider than the bun, pressing a shallow dimple in the center.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the patty for 4-5 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165F.
- Toast the bun cut-side down in the same pan for 30 seconds until golden.
- Spread Dijon mustard on the bottom bun and layer the lettuce and tomato on top.
- Set the cooked patty on the toppings and crown with the top bun.
