INGREDIENTS

2 ounces lean ground turkey (total, as a combination of 1 oz + 1 oz extra)

1 slice turkey bacon

1 whole wheat bun

3 medium slices of yellow onion

1 teaspoon olive oil

Salt & Pepper to taste

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a bowl, combine the extra 1 ounce of lean ground turkey with salt and pepper. Form it into a patty, then gently merge with the main 1 ounce portion to create a uniform 2-ounce patty. Adjust seasoning as needed.

• 2

  Thinly slice the yellow onion into rings or half-moons.

• 3

  Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat and add the sliced onions. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until onions become deeply caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

• 4

  In a separate pan, cook the turkey bacon over medium heat until it becomes crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

• 5

  In the same pan (or on a grill if preferred), cook the turkey patty over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through.

• 6

  Lightly toast the whole wheat bun in the pan or toaster.

• 7

  Assemble the burger by placing the turkey patty on the bottom bun, topping it with the cooked turkey bacon, and generously adding the caramelized onions. Finish with the top bun and serve immediately.
