Ingredients
  

For the Slaw
  • 1.5 cups broccoli slaw
  • 0.25 cup skinny blue cheese dressing
For the Burgers
  • 1.25 lbs 93% lean ground turkey
  • 0.66 cup grated carrots (grate in food processor)
  • 0.25 cup seasoned whole wheat breadcrumbs
  • 1 clove garlic (grated)
  • 1 tbsp red onion (grated)
  • 0.25 cup Frank's Hot Sauce
  • salt to taste
  • fresh pepper to taste
  • oil spray
  • 5 slices reduced fat cheddar cheese
  • 5 buns whole wheat burger buns (e.g., Martin's 100 calorie Potato Whole Wheat Buns)

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium bowl, combine broccoli slaw and skinny blue cheese dressing. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, carrots, breadcrumbs, grated garlic, grated red onion, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Form into 5 equal patties, about 5.5 oz each.
  3. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Once hot, lightly spray with oil. Add the burger patties to the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low.
  4. Cook on one side until browned, about 4-5 minutes, then flip.
  5. Cook for another 4 minutes or until the burgers are cooked all the way through (maintain medium-low heat to prevent burning). Top each burger with a slice of reduced-fat cheddar cheese. Serve on toasted whole wheat burger buns, topped with the prepared broccoli slaw.
  6. If grilling, clean the grill well before cooking and spray with oil to prevent sticking.
