One of the keys to making great extra-lean turkey burgers is to add moisture. Here, I quickly throw some egg substitute and bread crumbs into the turkey. Another key is the extra kick of flavor from the fresh jalapeños.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat a grill to high heat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the egg substitute and bread crumbs. Mix in the turkey until the ingredients are well combined. Shape the turkey into a patty about 1/2 inch in diameter larger than the bun. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Lightly spray both sides of the patty with olive oil spray. Grill it until no longer pink inside, about 2 minutes per side. During the last minute of cooking, add the cheese to the patty. Also, if desired, toast the bun by placing it, insides face down, on a top grill rack or away from an open flame until just toasted, about 30 seconds.
Step 4
Place the bun bottom on a serving plate. Add the lettuce, tomato, then jalapeño slices, followed by the patty. Spread the inside of the bun top evenly with the mayonnaise. Place the bun top on the burger and serve immediately.
