BLT Cheeseburgers

Ingredients:

• 4 slices uncooked turkey bacon
• 1 pound uncooked 99% fat-free ground turkey breast
• 1 cup uncooked zucchini, shredded
• ½ tsp kosher salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 medium garlic clove, grated
• 5 sprays cooking spray
• 4 slices reduced-fat cheddar cheese
• 4 large fresh tomatoes, heirloom variety
• 2 tbsp light mayonnaise
• 4 Boston lettuce leaves

Instructions

1. Cook bacon in the microwave according to package directions. Tear each slice in half.
2. In a medium bowl, combine turkey, zucchini, salt, pepper, and garlic. Mix well and divide into 4 equal portions. Shape each into a ½-inch-thick patty.
3. Coat a large grill pan with cooking spray. Heat pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey patties to the pan. Cook until well marked on the bottom, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn patties over and cook for 3 minutes. Top each patty with 1 cheese slice and cook until patties are cooked through and cheese starts to melt, 2 to 3 minutes.
4. Cut each tomato in half crosswise. Squeeze halves to extract seeds; discard seeds. Spread mayonnaise evenly over the cut sides of each tomato half. Layer 1 patty on the bottom half of each tomato; top with 2 bacon pieces, 1 lettuce leaf, and the top half of the tomato.
5. Serving Size: 1 burger!
