Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 2 tbsp  Chipotle peppers in adobo, deseeded, and chopped small
  • 1 tbsp cilantro, minced
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp onion salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 4 favorite buns I like sesame seed
  • 4 pieces or romaine lettuce
  • 1/4 yellow onion, sliced thin
  • 1-2 avocados sliced
  • 2 sun--dried tomatoes, minced
  • 2 tbsp low fat sour cream

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the sour cream and sun-dried tomato. Mix well and set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the turkey, adobo chipotle peppers, garlic, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Mix with hands until well combined. Form into 4 even sized balls, then smash into patties, about a 1/2 inch thick.
  • Heat a pan on high. Drizzle with 1 tbsp. of olive oil. Add the patties to the pan and cook for 4 minutes. Flip and cook 4 minutes more. (Keep an eye on the patties, if they look to be cooking too quickly lower the heat a bit)
  • Next, add the cheese slices to each patty. Pour 1/4 cup water in the pan and cover with a lid. Let them steam for a minute or 2 until the cheese is ooey gooey and melted!
  • Remove and toast the buns. I like to add a little drizzle of olive oil on the inside of the bun and toast it on the hot pan/griddle
  • Now to assemble:
    Spread the tomato-cream mixture on the top and bottom bun. Next goes the romaine lettuce to bottom bun, then patty, onions, and avocado. and finish with a big ol bite!
  • ENJOY!
