This cookout recipe always has everyone talking. The secret is mixing a creamy, spreadable cheese into the turkey patties. It gives them lots of flavor without overpowering the burger.

6 whole wheat hamburger buns, split
1-1/2 pounds lean ground turkey
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. minced fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1-1/2 tsp. grated lemon zest
4-1/2 tsp. lemon juice
2 green onions, chopped
1/3 cup reduced-fat garlic-herb spreadable cheese
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs

Method

01

In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Crumble turkey over mixture and mix well. Shape into six patties.
02

Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack. Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 165℉ and juices run clear.
