Health benefits of Turkey Cobb Burger

Romaine lettuce contains chromium, which helps maintain normal blood glucose levels by making insulin more efficient. The chromium in romaine lettuce also promotes weight loss due to its ability to help control cravings, reduce hunger, and control fat in the blood. Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 c. Extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 lb. 90 percent lean ground turkey
1 1/2 tbsp. canola oil
2 oz. crumbled blue cheese (about 1/2 cup)
4 burger buns
1 1/4 c. finely shredded Romaine lettuce
1 large ripe beefsteak tomato
1 ripe avocado
8 slice bacon

Instructions

To make the dressing, whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk in the olive oil.
Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (6 ounces each). Form each portion loosely into a 3/4-inch-thick burger and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb. Season both sides of each burger with salt and pepper.
Cook the burgers using the canola, topping each one with some of the cheese and a basting cover during the last minute of cooking.
Place the burgers on the bottom half of each bun. Toss the romaine with the dressing and arrange over the burgers. Top each with 2 slices of bacon, 2 slices of tomato, sliced of avocado, and additional blue cheese, if desired. Cover each burger with a bun top and serve immediately.
