Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
Serves: 6
Serving Size: 1 burger with bun
INGREDIENTS
1 Tbsp. canola oil (I use olive oil)
1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
1 small green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 peeled garlic cloves, finely chopped
3/4 pound ground turkey breast
1 can (28 oz.) diced tomatoes
2 Tbsp. tomato paste
1/4 cup mesquite or other smoky barbecue sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 whole-wheat hamburger buns, grilled or toasted
6 thin onion slices, for garnish (optional)
Shredded lettuce, for garnish (optional)
DIRECTIONS
1. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the onion and pepper until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and saute until the vegetables are soft, about 3 minutes. Add the turkey and cook, using a wooden spoon to break it up and stirring until it loses its pink color, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste and barbecue sauce.
2. Simmer vigorously until the mixture is thick, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If not using immediately, refrigerate, covered, for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a microwave oven before using.
3. Place the bottom of each bun on a plate. Spoon over each equal amounts of the meat mixture. Top with the onion and some lettuce, if using. Cover with the top of the bun or set it to lean on one side of the meat topping. Serve immediately.
