Green Goddess Turkey Burger

Ingredients: (yields 4 servings)

Green Goddess Aioli: (yields about 3/4 cup)

• 1/4 cup fat-free sour cream

• 6 tablespoons ripe avocado

• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves

• 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise

• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

• 1 garlic clove, chopped

• 1/4 tsp salt

To prepare Aioli, blend all ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth and creamy.

Turkey burgers:

• 1 pound ground turkey (I prefer to use regular ground turkey, as opposed to ground turkey breast, as the burger will be much juicier and tastier!)

• 1 large egg

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 2 Tbsp Parsley, chopped

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/4 tsp pepper

• 1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

• 4 slices reduced fat Gouda cheese

• Baby arugula

• Sliced tomato

• Sliced red onion

• 4 Whole Wheat Buns (or gluten free buns)

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, mix together ground turkey, egg, garlic, and parsley, then season with salt and pepper. Form mixture into four flat patties.

2. In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add patties and cook until golden and cooked through, 5 minutes per side, or until a minimum internal temperature of 165F.

3. Add slice of gouda cheese to each burger and remove from skillet once slightly melted.

4. Serve on a toasted whole wheat bun with baby arugula, tomato, onion, and 1 Tbsp Green Goddess Aioli.

5. Enjoy!
