🥗Healthier: turkey patty

💰Cheaper: chicken patty

Turkey is leaner, and chicken patties can be less expensive.

Form 2 thin patties from 8 oz of extra lean ground turkey and place them on parchment paper.

Preheat a pan on medium-high heat and spray it liberally with cooking spray.

Season the tops of the patties with salt and black pepper.

Flip the patties into the pan and season the other side with salt and black pepper.

Cook the patties for 5 minutes per side until they are no longer pink and have a nice crust.

While the burgers are cooking, spread 1 tablespoon of light mayo on the top bun.

Place a slice of light cheese on the bottom bun.

Once the burgers are cooked, place one patty on top of the cheese slice.

Top each burger with 2 slices of cooked applewood smoked turkey bacon.

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of low calorie barbecue sauce over the bacon.

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of crispy onions on top of the barbecue sauce.

Cover the burgers with the top bun and press gently to secure.
