Simple Healthy Turkey Burger

This turkey burger is a simple, lean alternative to a traditional beef burger. Made with white meat turkey and served on a whole wheat bun, it’s a balanced, satisfying meal that’s easy to prepare on the stovetop or an electric grill.

Paired with grilled onions and a touch of BBQ sauce, it delivers plenty of flavor without being heavy.

Ingredients

• 1 (4 oz) white meat turkey burger patty

• 2 slices onion

Directions

1. Lightly coat both sides of the turkey patty with nonstick cooking spray.
