Ingredients

• 2 pieces Whole grain burger bun
• 200 grams Lean ground turkey
• 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoons Avocado oil
• 2 slices Low-sodium turkey bacon
• 2 slices Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
• 2 leaves Leafy green lettuce
• 4 slices Sliced tomatoes
• 2 rings Sliced red onion
• 0.5 pieces Avocado
• 1 teaspoons Fresh lime juice
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 slices Low-sodium pickles
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix the lean ground turkey with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined. Form the mixture into two equal-sized burger patties.

Step 2

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat and brush with avocado oil. Cook the turkey patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 3

While the patties cook, grill the turkey bacon in a separate skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 4

Add a slice of reduced-fat cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the final minute of cooking, allowing it to melt slightly.

Step 5

Mash the half avocado in a small bowl with fresh lime juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper to make a simple guacamole spread.

Step 6

Lightly toast the whole grain burger buns in the toaster or oven until warmed through.

Step 7

Assemble the X-Tudo by spreading 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each bun. Layer each bun with a lettuce leaf, turkey patty with melted cheese, a slice of turkey bacon, 2 slices of tomato, 1-2 red onion rings, 1 slice of pickle, and a dollop of guacamole. Add the top bun to complete the sandwich.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy X-Tudo packed with wholesome and delicious ingredients!
