Hey so I found these recipes on bodybuilding.com and I figured I'd share. I made the second one which is a tomato turkey burger with cucumbers on top. I gotta say it was more than amazing and very healthy as well. I skipped on the Mayo portion just to avoid those calories. Really easy to make too. Enjoy!!! (if you dont want to go in the link I also posted the recipe, but the picture is what makes you want it lol)

This turkey burger delivers a pleasing combination of fresh flavors. The cheese pairs with tomatoes to create an experience you won't forget. This recipe is high in protein and low in fat, a great option for people on a cutting diet.

1 tsp. minced garlic
1 tbsp. olive oil
8 slices of cucumber
4 tbsp. fat-free mayonnaise
4 whole wheat buns
Directions
Combine ground turkey, shredded cheese, tomato, with salsa and garlic.
Once ingredients are well combined, form into patties.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side or until done.
Remove from skillet and lay on top of whole wheat bun, smeared with fat-free mayonnaise and layered with the cucumber.
