INGREDIENTS

6.5 oz Ground turkey (93% lean)

1 stick Part-skim mozzarella cheese

1 whole Whole wheat sandwich thin bun

2 tbsp Marinara sauce

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.25 tsp Garlic powder

1 leaf Romaine lettuce

1 slice Tomato

1 tsp Avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Form the ground turkey into a thick patty and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

• 2

  Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 3

  Place the patty in the skillet and sear for 5 to 6 minutes per side until the exterior is browned and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

• 4

  While the burger finishes cooking, slice the mozzarella stick in half lengthwise and place both pieces on top of the patty.

• 5

  Cover the skillet with a lid for the final 60 seconds of cooking to allow the cheese to melt into a stretchy, gooey layer.

• 6

  Lightly toast the whole wheat sandwich thin bun until golden and crisp.

• 7

  Spread the marinara sauce on the bottom bun, layer with the romaine lettuce and tomato slice, then place the cheesy turkey patty on top.

• 8

  Close the burger with the top bun and serve immediately while hot.
