Turkey Burgers
makes 3 servings

Ingredients

• 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1/2 white onion, finely chopped
• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• salt and pepper
• 3 quarter-inch slices of pepper jack cheese
• 2 tomatoes, sliced into 3/4-inch thick rounds
• EVOO
• 3 large wheat bulky rolls
• lettuce
• spicy mayo sauce (*Sauce= Combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbs. hot sauce, juice of 1/2 a lime in a small bowl.)

Directions
1. Preheat grill over high heat.
2. Add the garlic, onion, turkey, mustard, soy sauce, and about 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper to a large mixing bowl. Mix well with a wooden spoon. Divide the turkey into 6 equal sized balls and flatten them into patties with your hands. For smaller burgers, make 8 or 10 medium sized balls, but you will need additional cheese slices.

3. Lay a slice of cheese on 3 of the patties and cover each with another patty. Pinch the edges to seal the patties closed (so the cheese will not melt out).
4. With your thumb, press down the center of each patty to keep the juices locked in while cooking.

5. Season your tomatoes with salt and pepper. Grill for 2 minutes per side. Remove form the grill to a plate. Drizzle olive oil on buns and toast on the grill; set aside.
6. Grill the burgers until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Transfer the burgers to the buns and top with the spicy mayo sauce, lettuce, and grilled tomatoes.
