Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 package Urban Accents Tomato Basil Turkey Burger Seasoning
- 1 bunch fresh basil leaves
- 1 ball fresh mozzarella, sliced
- 3-4 ripe Roma tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 2-3 balsamic vinegar or balsamic reduction (to drizzle)
- 2 heads iceburg lettuce (to use as a low carb, gluten-free bun substitute)
Directions
- In a large bowl, use your hands to combine ground turkey and seasoning. Make a thumb-print dent in the middle to keep the patties from becoming spheres while cooking.
- Heat oil in a non-stick pan, grill, or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook patties until crispy brown on both sides - approximately 7-9 minutes per side. Use a meat or instant-read thermometer to make sure patties reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove patties from pan and let cool slightly.
- If using regular hamburger buns, build burger with a patty, a few slices of tomato, a thick slice of mozzarella cheese, and a few basil leaves. Drizzle with balsamic. We might also recommend some mayo here.
- Remove any discolored or wilted outer layers from the heads of lettuce. Place the head of lettuce core-down on a cutting board. Carefully cut on a diagonal to make lettuce 'cheeks' (one side rounded, one side flat). You should be able to get approximately four from one head. Build the burger as above and enjoy!
