BLT Turkey Burger

The cheddar cheese is mixed right in with the ground Ontario turkey creating a moist, flavourful burger that holds together well on the grill. Top with crisp Ontario bacon, lettuce and tomato and serve with a side salad or slaw for a quick and easy weeknight dinner the whole family will enjoy!

 1 lb (500 g) ground Ontario turkey
 1 cup (250 mL) finely grated old Cheddar cheese
 4 green onions, minced
 2 tbsp (25 mL) fresh breadcrumbs
 1 tbsp (15 mL) Dijon mustard
 1 clove garlic, minced
 ½ tsp (2 mL) each salt and fresh cracked pepper
 4 slices cooked Ontario bacon, halved
 4 slices tomato
 4 Boston lettuce leaves
 4 soft hamburger buns
Steps:

In bowl, use a fork to gently combine turkey, Cheddar, green onion, breadcrumbs, Dijon, garlic, salt and pepper. Divide the mixture into four 1-inch (2.5cm) thick patties.
