Ingredients

1 pound Ground turkey breast
4 teaspoons Sugar-free pancake syrup
1/2 teaspoon Dried sage
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/8 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon Ground ginger

1 Large beefsteak tomato, cut into 4 slices
4 (1-ounce) slices Reduced-fat cheddar cheese

Preparation

1. Heat oven to broil.

2. Combine turkey, syrup, sage, cayenne, salt, pepper, and ginger in a mixing bowl and mix well. Divide into 4 (1/2" thick) patties.

3. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; cook patties until well browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from heat.

5. Top each slice with 1 turkey patty and 1 cheese slice.

6. Broil until cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.
