Turkey-Swiss-Guac Burger

Ingredients:
1 lb ground Turkey
4 slices of reduced fat Swiss cheese
4 white-wheat hamburger buns
4 tbsp of Wholly Guacamole
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
4 tbsp Ortega chopped green chilies
2 tomatoes (sliced)
1 red onion (slicked)

Directions:
Mix the turkey, salt, and pepper and shape into 4 patties.

Preheat grill, grill pan, or cast-iron skillet. Cook the patties over medium-high heat until lightly charred on the outside, about 4 minutes, then flip. Place a tablespoon of the chilies on top of each patty, then cover with a slice of Swiss. Cook until the patty is firm, about 8 to 10 minutes total.

Dress buns with tomato and onion slices (if you are an onion fan), top with the burgers and slather with guacamole.

Makes 4 servings @ $3.76 per serving before coupons.

This recipe was also found in the Eat This Not That, Supermarket Survival Guide by David Zinczenko with Matt Goulding on page 293. I highly recommend this book for money/calorie saving ideas.

Money saving tips: Turkey burgers are not only healthier than hamburgers but you can save a lot of money on ground turkey verses ground beef. Head to Target and take advantage of this weeks sales. If you buy a bag of Archer Farms Tortilla chips you get a free jar of salsa which is a good appetizer with the Turkey burgers. Top this tasty meal off with the smoothie with raspberries on sale for $.99 at Kroger. Always Always Always check coupons before heading to the store. Enjoy!
