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

Cajun Yogurt Sauce
1 cup Dannon® Light & Fit® Plain Greek Nonfat Yogurt
2 Tbsp low-sodium Cajun seasoning blend
2 tsp fresh lemon zest

Burgers
1 lb ground lean turkey
1 cup Cajun Yogurt Sauce
1/4 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
8 thick ripe tomato slices
1/4 cup chopped chives

Instructions

Preheat grill or broiler or oven to 400°F.
In a bowl, combine Dannon® Light & Fit® Plain Greek Nonfat Yogurt, Cajun seasoning, and lemon zest. Mix well and set aside.
In another bowl, toss together turkey, 1/4 cup Cajun yogurt sauce, and bread crumbs, and mix gently to combine. Form into 4 equal-sized burgers and flatten. Reserve remaining Cajun yogurt sauce. Place on a baking sheet, cover, and refrigerate until ready to bake.
To Prepare: Spray both sides of each burger with non-stick cooking spray and grill or broil on medium at least 4-6 minutes per side or until cooked completely through to an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from heat. To oven bake burgers, roast 14-16 minutes or until cooked through. Keep warm.
