Serving these burgers on whole grain buns kicks up the fiber content or wrap them in romaine lettuce to enjoy them "protein-style". Skip the unhealthy fats in mayo and top these juicy burgers with a few slices of creamy avocado and fresh salsa.

Ingredients

1 (20-ounce) package Extra-lean ground turkey breast
1/3 cup Diced fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup Chopped cilantro
1/4 cup Diced red onion
1/4 cup Diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup Low-fat Mexican-blend cheese
1 tablespoon Mexican seasoning or fajita seasoning
1 teaspoon Minced garlic
6 Orowheat Whole Grain Sandwich Thins
1 1/2 Medium avocados, peeled, pitted, and thinly sliced
6 tablespoons Salsa
6 tablespoons Plain non-fat Greek-style yogurt

Preparation

In a large mixing bowl, combine the turkey, mushrooms, cilantro, onion, Bell pepper, cheese, seasoning and garlic. There will be about 24 ounces (11/2 pounds) of mixture, or 4 cups. Divide into 6 (4-ounce) patties.

Grill the burgers for 3 minutes on each side, or until the inside is no longer pink. Serve on Sandwich Thins topped with avocado, salsa and yogurt (instead of sour cream).
