Ingredients
  • 8 ounce Ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup Fresh whole wheat breadcrumbs
  • 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped (or 1 1/2 tsp dried dillweed)

  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground pepper
  • as needed Nonstick vegetable oil spray
  • 2 rolls Poppy seed kaiser rolls, split
  • 2 leaves Lettuce
  • 2 slices Tomato, large
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, dill, 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, beaten egg white, salt, and pepper.

  8. 8
    Transfer the toasted rolls to plates.
