Ingredients

  • 1 pound 98-99% lean ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups fresh fat-free salsa, divided
  • Cooking spray
  • 5 slices reduced-fat or "ultra thin" Pepper Jack cheese
  • 5 light hamburger buns
  • 1 avocado, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped onion, optional

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine ground turkey, Worcestershire sauce, Southwest Chipotle seasoning, salt, and 1/3 cup salsa. Shape meat mixture into 5 patties that are about 1/4 cup each; flatten patties. Spray large skillet with cooking spray and cook patties over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes on both sides, or until fully cooked.
  • Top each burger with 1 slice of cheese and continue to cook the burger until the cheese begins to melt, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Place one burger on each of the bun bottoms. Divide the avocado evenly between the 5 burgers.
  • If desired, and if the salsa you are using does not include red onion, mix the chopped red onion in with the remaining salsa. Scoop 1/4 cup salsa on the top of each burger and place the top of the bun on the burger. Serve immediately.
