With Father's Day only days away, I know I am not alone in searching out the perfect way to make the day special for the men in my life. My own father passed away ten years ago, but I have an awesome step-dad that has really stepped up to the plate. He has been working hard lately to shed a few pounds (not that he needs it,) so finding a man-friendly meal that will bring a smile to his face this Father's Day was not such an easy task. Luckily, I remembered the Butterball app on my phone, and I was able to find a lighter take on the ultimate "man" burger that will be perfect this Father's Day.

BLT Turkey Burger Ingredients: 

This lighter take on a familiar favorite is the perfect way to celebrate dad this Father's Day. Reward him with a juicy and delicious burger piled high with all the fixings without any of the guilt, so there is plenty of room for dessert. Some of you might remember that I used the Butterball Cookbook Plus app to find the perfect recipe for our Memorial Day grill out too, and I am pleased to report that the Grilled Salsa Turkey Burgers turned out to be delicious, so I know this recipe is sure to please too. 

Ingredients: 

- ¼ cup fat-free mayonnaise 
- 1-1/2 teaspoons honey 
- 1 teaspoon chipotle pepper sauce 
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro 
- 4 BUTTERBALL® Original Seasoned Frozen Turkey Burgers 
- 4 slices (1/2ounce each) reduced-fat Cheddar cheese 
- 4 Kaiser rolls, split and toasted - 1 cups shredded lettuce 
- 4 slices red onion (about 1/8-inch thick) 
- 4 slices tomato 
- 1 avocado, cut into 8 slices 
- 4 slices BUTTERBALL® Turkey Bacon, cooked and cut in half 

Directions: 

1. Combine mayonnaise, honey, chipotle pepper sauce and cilantro. Refrigerate until ready to use. 
2. Prepare turkey burgers according to package directions for broiling or on pre-heated grill. 
3. When burgers are cooked, top each with 1 slice cheese. Broil 1 minute or until cheese is melted. 
4. Spread 1-1/2 teaspoons mayonnaise mixture on cut sides of each roll. Layer each bottom half with 1/4 cup shredded lettuce, 1 slice onion and 1 slice tomato. Top each with cheese-topped burger, 2 slices avocado and 2 turkey bacon pieces. Cover each with top of roll.
