Grilled Turkey Caesar Burger

Grilled Turkey Caesar Burger

adapted from America's Test Kitchen™

I prefer to use 85% lean turkey because it does not dry out as much as the 93% when grilled.

Makes 2 servings with extra dressing                      

10 WW pts / burger + 1 WW point / Tbsp of dressing

12 oz, ground turkey
1/4 cup reduced fat mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese, + 1 1/2 Tbsp. shaved
2 tsp. lemon juice
1 anchovy fillet, rinsed and minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/8 tsp.Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. olive oil, divided
1/4 tsp. Kosher salt
1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
4 leaves romaine lettuce, cut into 1½‑inch pieces

1. Divide turkey into 2 lightly packed balls, then gently flatten into ¾‑inch-thick patties. 
2. Using your fingertips, press center of each patty down until about ½ inch thick, creating a slight divot. Freeze patties for 30 minutes. 
3. Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan, lemon juice, anchovies, minced garlic, and Worcestershire in bowl; set aside.
4. Preheat the grill to high.
5. Brush each side of patties with 1/2 oil and season with salt and pepper. 
6. Turn all but primary burner off.
7. Place burgers, divot side up, over hotter part of grill and cook (covered if using gas) until well browned and meat easily releases from grill, about 5 minutes. 
8. Gently flip patties and continue to cook until well browned on second side and meat registers 160 degrees, 5 minutes. Transfer burgers to platter and let rest while preparing toppings.
9. Toss romaine with 1tablespoons dressing and shredded Parmesan in bowl to combined. 
10. Season to taste with salt and pepper to taste. 
11. Serve burgers open faced topped with romaine mixture, passing remaining dressing separately.

Enjoy!
