Open-Face Turkey Burgers

FLAVOR BOOSTERS Lean ground turkey is just the start when preparing lower-calorie burgers; these are made supermoist and juicy with the somewhat unexpected addition of reduced-fat sour cream, mango chutney, Dijon, and chili powder; torn pieces of whole-wheat bread help bind the meat as it cooks.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

6 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread
1 pound ground dark-meat turkey (93% lean)
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 ounces mesclun
1 medium tomato, sliced

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat broiler, with rack 4 inches from heat. In a medium bowl, tear 2 slices bread into small pieces. Add turkey, sour cream, 3 tablespoons chutney, 1 tablespoon mustard, the chili powder, and coarse salt. Shape into 4 firmly packed 5-inch round patties.

    Place burgers on a rimmed baking sheet; broil until firm and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Lightly toast remaining 4 bread slices.

    Step 3

    Layer each bread slice with mesclun, burger, and tomato. Stir together 1 tablespoon each chutney and mustard, and serve alongside burgers.
