Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • Fat skimmed off
  • 1 small Onion -- finely chopped
  • 1 clove Garlic -- minced
  • 1/2 pound Well-trimmed top round
  • Cut in large chunks
  • 1/4 pound Ground turkey
  • 1/4 cup Plain dried bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup Prepared chili sauce -- divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup shredded swiss cheese
  • 4 hamburger rolls -- split
  • 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
  • 4 thick Slices tomato
Directions
  1. 1
    In a small saucepan, combine the chicken broth, finely chopped onion, and minced garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is very soft and all the liquid has been absorbed. Set aside to cool completely.
  2. 2
    Meanwhile, preheat your broiler. Place the well-trimmed top round beef into a food processor and pulse until it is coarsely ground.
  3. 3
    In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, ground turkey, bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons of the chili sauce, black pepper, and the cooled onion-garlic mixture. Blend thoroughly until well combined.
  4. 4
    Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and form them into patties. Place the patties on a broiler pan or baking sheet.
  5. 5
    Broil the burgers 3 to 4 inches from the heat source. Cook for about 8 minutes, turning once halfway through, until cooked through.
  6. 6
    Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese on top of each burger. Return to the broiler for an additional 30 seconds, just until the cheese is melted.
  7. 7
    While the burgers finish cooking, place the split hamburger rolls on a baking sheet and broil for 30 seconds until lightly toasted.
  8. 8
    To assemble, place the toasted buns on 4 plates. Top the bottom buns with shredded romaine lettuce, followed by a tomato slice and a cheeseburger patty.
  9. 9
    Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of chili sauce over the burgers, cap with the top buns, and serve immediately.
