I pared down the recipe for these mouthwatering burgers after it was given to me by a dear friend. Cumin and cayenne pepper add to the turkey’s wonderful taste. –Marianne Shira of Osceola, Wisconsin
Ingredients:
1/3 cup fat-free plain yogurt
1/3 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped seeded peeled cucumber
1/4 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
dash dried thyme
burgers:
1/2 cup finely chopped sweet onion
1/2 cup finely chopped green pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1-1/2 pounds extra-lean ground turkey
1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber
6 slices tomato
6 hamburger buns, split
Directions:
