Summer is Grillin' Time!

Stuffed Turkey Burgers

Summer is a great time to fire up that grill and savor all the flavors of the season! Want to indulge in a big ol' juicy burger but think your bikini will scold you? Not this recipe for delicious, juicy turkey burgers! Pair with a fresh tomatoe and red onion salad with your favorite lowfat vinagrette and you have yourself a scrumptious, satisfying meal!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 pounds lean ground turkey breast
  • 1/2 cup chopped roasted red peppers
  • 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Divide turkey into 4 equal sized rounds. Make 2 equal sized patties out of each round so you have 8 patties total. Sprinkle 4 of the patties with 2 tablespoons red peppers and cheese, and top with remaining patties, working the turkey around the edges to seal burgers closed. Season with salt and a few grinds of pepper. Grill or broil until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
