Total:
- In a bowl, season the turkey with Italian or herb seasoning, garlic, smoked paprika, green onion, and sea salt and pepper. Mix and form into a patty.
- Slice the bacon in half, and create a mini bacon grid for your burger.
- Cook the bacon in the microwave for 2-1/2 to 3 minutes. Be careful not to let it burn. Allow the bacon to cool and harden.
- Place the patty in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes. After that, place a slice of cheddar on top and cook for an additional 30-45 seconds.
- Lastly, assemble the burger. Place the Dijon, lettuce, tomato, patty, and bacon grid on the bun. For a lower-carb solution, use Portobello mushroom caps instead of whole-wheat buns.
- Shredding Boost: Replace wheat buns with mushroom caps. Here's how to do it: 1. Remove the stems from 2 large Portobello mushroom caps, and scrape out the insides using a spoon. Spray the caps with olive oil, and cook in the microwave for 30-45 seconds. 2. Once finished cooking, place the caps on a paper towel and allow them to dry out for 2 minutes.
