The problem sometimes with lean and extra-lean ground meats is that they can yield a dry burger. This needn't be the case if you add moistening ingredients and don't overcook them. My skeptical husband was impressed at the moistness of these low-fat turkey burgers.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound extra-lean ground turkey
  • 1/3 cup tomato ketchup
  • 1/2 cup minced onion
  • 1 slice bread made into breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp coriander

Preparation:

Gently combine ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Divide mixture into four and form four 1/2-inch thick patties.

Grill turkey burgers for 5-6 minutes per side, to an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
