    Recipe Introduction


    Recipe Summary
    Difficulty: Easy
    Prep Time: 15 minutes
    Cook Time: 15 minutes
    Yield: 5 servings (2 burgers each)

    Burgers:
    2 1/2 pounds ground turkey
    1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar
    1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
    1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
    1 tablespoon Quick and Easy Sugar-Free Ketchup, recipe follows
    1 tablespoon chili powder
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    Pinch cayenne pepper
    1 large egg, beaten
    2 tablespoons vegetable oil

    Garnish:
    10 tablespoons mayonnaise
    10 red leaf lettuce leaves
    10 tomato slices
    10 onion slices
    10 pickle spears


    Make the Burgers: Mix all the ingredients together with your hands, except the oil, in a bowl.
    Divide the meat mixture into 10 equal-sized patties.

    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook the burgers, turning once, until lightly browned and cooked through, about 7 minutes per side.(A instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the thickest burger should read at least 165 degrees F.)

    Divide the burgers among plates--2 to a plate. Dollop each serving with mayonnaise and stack lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle on top.


    Quick and Easy Sugar-Free Ketchup:
    8 ounces no-sugar-added tomato sauce
    6 ounces no-sugar-added tomato paste
    2 tablespoons white vinegar
    1/4 cup sugar substitute (recommended: Splenda)

    Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
    Yield: 1 1/2 cups
