Blueberry Turkey Burgers with Lemon-Basil Mayonnaise Recipe

These low fat burgers have a surprise ingredient: blueberries. Not only do the berries keep the burger moist and flavorful, this bold combination turns ordinary burgers into a healthy meal. Tangy lemon-basil mayonnaise ties the ingredients together.

INGREDIENTS

1/4 cups fat-free mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 package Driscoll's Blueberries, divided
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 pound ground turkey (7% fat)
3 tablespoons plain dry bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoons ground black pepper
4 light 100 calorie multi-grain English muffins, toasted
4 tomato slices
4 lettuce leaves

Instructions

Combine mayonnaise, basil, lemon zest and 1/2 package blueberries in a small bowl; mix well and reserve.

Combine remaining blueberries, garlic, lemon juice and Dijon mustard in a bowl; mash well with a fork. Add ground turkey, bread crumbs, salt and pepper; mix until well combined. Divide into 4 portions and form into 3 1/2-inch diameter patties.

Coat a grill pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook 5 to 6 minutes per side or until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 175°F. To serve, place 1 tomato slice, 1 lettuce leaf and a turkey burger on bottom half of each English muffin. Spread cut side of muffin tops with basil mayonnaise and place on burgers. Serve immediately.
