Turkey Burger
 
Save the heels from your favorite gluten-free bread - freeze them and they'll be ready to turn into bread crumbs.
Ingredients
  • ½ cup finely grated Gruyere cheese
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1½ pounds ground turkey (93 percent lean)
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • Vegetable oil (for the grill)
Instructions
  1. Heat up your grill to high heat.
  2. Meanwhile, add the cheese, scallions, breadcrumbs, mustard and garlic to a large bowl. Stir with your hands or a large fork. Add the turkey and gently combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Divide the turkey into four portions and form each portion into a one-inch patty.
  4. Lightly oil the grill. Sear each burger on the hottest part of the grill; about 2-3 minutes a side. Move the burgers to a cooler part of your grill and continue grilling, about 5-7 minutes a side, until cooked through.
  5. Serve protein-style on iceberg lettuce or on gluten-free (or regular) hamburger buns.
  6. Suggested accompaniments include guacamole; slices of tomato, onion and pickles; ketchup, mustard and, of course, potato chips.
