Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 pounds lean ground turkey breast
  • 2 tablespoons corn meal
  • 1/4 cup egg substitute
  • 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 4 slices Monterey Jack cheese (1 ounce each)
  • 4 tablespoons low-fat plain yogurt
  • 4 tablespoons salsa
  • 4 thick slices red onion
  • arugula or lettuce
  • 4 hamburger buns, toasted

Mix turkey, corn meal, egg substitute, seasoned salt and chili powder in a medium bowl. Divide mixture evenly into 8 patties. Top four patties with a slice of cheese and cover with remaining 4 patties. Press edges together to seal in cheese.

Grill burgers over medium-hot coals for about 5 minutes on each side.

Mix yogurt and salsa together in a small bowl. Place a burger on each bun and top with onion, arugula and salsa mixture.

Yield: 1 burger, per serving
