Monterey Jack turkey burgers are one of my favorites. I can't get enough of them. I make them for dinner, then eat one more patty as a late night snack, then a couple patties for breakfast, and finish them off for lunch the next day. It's an addiction!

Total Time: 20 minutes

Yield: 8

Source: Weight Watchers

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lb ground turkey
2 Tbsp ketchup
4 shallots, minced (or 1 onion)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2/3 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
8 slices turkey bacon
8 whole wheat hamburger buns
8 thick tomato slices
8 lettuce leaves

Steps:

Mix turkey, ketchup, shallots, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until blended but not over mixed. Gently stir in Monterey Jack cheese. With damp hands, shape turkey mixture into 8 (1/2 inch thick) patties.
Spray grill pan with nonstick spray and set on medium-high heat. An electric griddle or grill pan on the stove works great. The patties probably won't hold up on a BBQ.

Cook patties until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, about 4 minutes per side. After burgers have cooked 2 minutes, add bacon to pan and cook until crisp, about 3 minutes per side.

Serve burger on bun topped with 1 bacon slice (torn in 2), 1 tomato slice, and 1 lettuce leaf.
