Turkey Burgers with Peach Blueberry Topping

Delicious summer dinner that is light! Found this recipe from Better Homes and Gardens. To make it even lighter, omit the cheese like I did.

Ingredients

4

small peaches

1

pound ground turkey

 

Salt

 

Ground black pepper

4

slices Monterey Jack cheese

1/2

cup blueberries

1/4

teaspoon chili powder

4

thick slices roasted garlic country bread or garlic bread, toasted if desired

Directions

1. Finely chop one of the peaches; add ground turkey, salt, and pepper. Shape turkey mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties (if necessary, dampen hands first). Grill on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until no pink remains (165 degrees F). Add cheese; cover and cook 1 minute more.
2. Meanwhile, coarsely chop remaining peaches. In a large skillet combine peaches, blueberries, and chili powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes or until heated through and juices are beginning to form.
3. Top each piece of garlic bread with one turkey burger and some of the peach mixture. If desired, top with additional chili powder.

1/2 Onion, chopped
2 Cloves Garlic, minced
3 Scallions, chopped

Peanuts, optional

Iceberg lettuce leaves

Directions:
Preheat 2 tbsp. of olive oil on a skillet on medium-high heat. Add the turkey and chop it up with a spatula while cooking until no longer pink. Add the soy sauce, onion, and garlic and cook for 3 more minutes. If the turkey is a little dry, add more olive oil.

Add turkey mixture to each lettuce leaf and top with chopped tomatoes, cilantro, and peanuts if desired.

For sauce, I used a hot taco sauce,  but you can be creative and use your favorite sauce.
