Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups broccoli slaw
  • 0.25 cup skinny blue cheese dressing
  • 1.25 lbs 93% lean ground turkey
  • 0.667 cup grated carrots grate in food processor
  • 0.25 cup seasoned whole wheat breadcrumbs
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • 1 tbsp red onion grated
  • 0.25 cup Frank's Hot Sauce

Preparation Steps

  • In a medium bowl, combine broccoli slaw and skinny blue cheese dressing. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, grated carrots, seasoned whole wheat breadcrumbs, grated garlic, grated red onion, Frank's Hot Sauce, salt and fresh pepper. Mix well and form into 5 equal patties, about 5.5 ounces each.
  • Heat a large skillet over high heat. When hot, lightly spray with oil. Add the turkey patties to the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Cook the patties on one side until browned, about 4-5 minutes, then flip them.
  • Cook an additional 4 minutes or until burgers are cooked through, keeping the heat medium-low to prevent burning. Top each patty with a slice of reduced fat cheddar cheese and place on toasted whole wheat burger buns. Top with the prepared broccoli slaw.
  • If grilling, clean grill well before cooking and spray with oil to prevent sticking.

Notes

This recipe offers a great balance of spicy and creamy flavors and is perfect for a quick, healthy weeknight dinner.
