Time 22m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
3/4 cup chopped zucchini
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 1/4 lbs 95% lean ground turkey or 1 1/4 lbs ground beef
1 1/2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat monterey jack cheese (or nonfat cheese) or 3/4 cup Mexican blend cheese (or nonfat cheese)
6 light hamburger buns or 6 multi-grain hamburger buns
1/4 cup salsa (or mix half and half) or 1/4 cup ketchup, plus (or mix half and half)
2 tablespoons salsa (or mix half and half) or 2 tablespoons ketchup (or mix half and half)
6 slices red onions or 6 slices sweet white onions
6 slices tomatoes
6 lettuce leaves

Steps:

  • Place the mushrooms, zucchini, onion, and red bell pepper in the bowl of a food processor and process until the vegetables are finely chopped.
  • Place the vegetables, ground meat, and taco seasoning mix in a medium-sized bowl and mix thoroughly.
  • Shape the mixture into six 4-inch patties.
  • Grill the burgers over medium coals or cook under a broiler for about 6 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature of the patties reaches 165 degrees (160 degrees for ground beef) and the meat is no longer pink inside.
  • (To retain moisture, avoid pressing down on the patties as they cook.).
  • Alternatively, coat a large nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray and cook the burgers over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side.
  • Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the cheese over each burger, cover the grill, and cook for another minute, just until the cheese is melted.
  • Place each burger in a bun and top with some of the salsa or ketchup, onion, tomato, and lettuce.
