ingredients

1 lb lean ground turkey (7 percent fat)
¹⁄₂ cup chopped red onion
1 green bell pepper, chopped
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon brown mustard
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₂ teaspoon thyme
1 tablespoon canola oil
¹⁄₂ cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
4 slices tomatoes, thick
4 lettuce leaves
4 hamburger buns

directions

Combine the turkey, onion, bell pepper, ketchup, mustard, salt and thyme in a bowl.
Form into 4 patties, each about 1 inch thick.
Do not work the meat, or pack it when shaping the patties, with your hands.
(Doing so makes the burgers less moist).
Heat the oil in a large skillet set over medium high.
Add the burgers and cook about 7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the tops of the burgers, cover the pan and turn the heat to low (If the pan is dry, add 2 tablespoons water before covering it).
Remove the burgers from the pan when the cheese is melted, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Top each patty with a tomato slice and piece of lettuce and serve on a bun.

Flavorful and different. The patties were very soft and had to take great care when handling to keep from breaking up. Good choice when you want out of the ordinary.
