LOW FAT TURKEY BURGER STUFFED WITH CREAM CHEESE
Another day in the kitchen, and another Winter storm is on the way.

Steps:
- 1. Combine the ingredients for the filling (minus the tomato slice), and set aside.
- 2. Combine the ingredients for the dressing, and set aside.
- 3. Place 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat.
- 4. Add the scallions, and mushrooms, and then sauté until soft, about 4 to 6 minutes. Do not let them burn.
- 5. Remove pan from heat and allow to completely cool.
- 6. Combine all the ingredients for the burger into a small bowl.
- 7. Chef's Note: If you want to add a bit of salt, wait until you are ready to cook it and sprinkle the salt on the outside before placing into the pan.
- 8. Chef's Note: When adding the scallion/mushroom mixture, include the olive oil from the pan.
- 9. Very gently mix the ingredients until fully combined.
- 10. Chef's Note: The more you mix the ingredients the tougher the burger will be, so be careful.
- 11. Take half of the mixture and form into a patty, about 4 inches in diameter, and 1/2 inch thick.
- 12. Chef's Tip: If presentation is important to you, then you might want to form the patty using an egg ring or large salad ring. Remember, we eat first with our eyes.
- 13. Spread the cream cheese over the top of the patty, but leave a 1/2-inch border all round.
- 14. Add the slice of tomato.
- 15. Cover with the remainder of the turkey mixture, and press to seal.
- 16. Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 375f (190c).
- 17. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to an ovenproof sauté pan over medium heat.
- 18. When the pan is heated, add the burger, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- 19. Gently flip and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
- 20. Finish the burger, by placing the pan in the preheated oven for an additional 8 to 10 minutes.
- 21. Chef's Note: The internal temperature of the burger should be 165f (74c).
- 22. Place the bib lettuce on a plate, place the burger on top, and garnish with the dressing. You might want to add a side of sweet potato fries: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/side-potatoes/oven-baked-sweet-potato-fries.html
