Swiss and Onion Turkey Burgers

You know those days, when you’ve decided to eat better and exercise, but all you’re craving is a big, fat juicy hamburger? Yeah, it happens! Believe me, I know! I lost 47lbs, gained 10lbs back, and am back to a 42lbs weight loss. It’s a daily, and even up to the minute struggle when the sights and smells of your favorite not-so-healthy foods are staring at you in the face. Well, I have a better burger solution for you! This Swiss and Onion Turkey Burger is delicious, fresh, and wholesome!

I used Sweet Onion Seasoned Butterball Turkey Burgers which are so easy to grill, indoors or out, and cook up in 15 minutes or less. The caramelized onions take 30 minutes to get a nice and rich golden brown, but they will add that gourmet aspect to the burger that you are craving. Add swiss cheese, which goes really well with caramelized onions, (because what’s a burger without cheese?) and you’ve got burger heaven!

I love that these Butterball turkey burgers are lean and delicious, so I can give my family something they will actually eat, but is better for all of us! I also love that they are quick to cook, so dinner after school can be ready in no time! These burgers would be great for your next tailgating party as well, and I bet no one will notice that they’re turkey burgers because they are so tender and flavorful!

Condiments are optional, but I will say that we love to put our Swiss and Onion Turkey Burgers on a toasted bun (which you could always swap with a lettuce wrap) and veggies on the side. Yum!

It’s a great alternative to pork bacon, and I can eat two pieces without feeling greasy and disgusting! Yay!

Lightly spray or brush both sides of FROZEN turkey burgers with oil and place on grill, about 4" above heat. Grill burgers 8 minutes on one side; turn and grill on the other side for 7 minutes or until center of burger reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
