Ingredients

  • 1 15.5 ounce can chickpeas, rinsed
  • 1 pound extra-lean ground turkey
  • ½ cup toasted gluten free bread crumbs or panko crumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated carrots
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 garlic clove chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 ounces sliced dill havarti cheese or Muenster cheese
  • 4-6 Toasted brioche buns or boston lettuce if gluten free
  • Toppings of choice: lettuce sliced tomato, mustard, ketchup, barbecue sauce etc.

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

  3. Form four to six 1-inch thick patties and place on the lined baking sheet.
  4. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook until golden brown and opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Top each patty with a slice of cheese, cover, and cook until the cheese has melted, about 1 minute.
  5. Serve the burgers on toasted buns or lettuce wraps with lettuce, tomato slices and toppings of your choice.
