1 large onion, roughly chopped

1 large pepper, cut into strips

Turkey Burgers

If you love burgers, but are trying to cut back on your fat intake, turkey burgers are an excellent choice.

1 lb. ground turkey

1 Tbsp. all purpose seasoning of your choice

Mix well and form into 4 burger patties.

Tip: If the patties are not staying together as well as you would like, it will help to put them in the freezer for about a half hour with parchment paper between them.

Add lettuce, tomato, onions and serve on a whole grain bun and you have a healthy low fat burger.
