Savory Turkey Burger with Garlicky Mayonnaise

Ingredients:
1/4 c. fat-free or reduced-fat mayonnaise
1 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. finely chopped garlic
1 lb. ground turkey breast
1/4 c. quick cooking oats
1 Tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp. salt-free seasoning blend
1 small onion, finely chopped (1/4 c.)
1 egg white
4 whole wheat burger buns, split
4 lettuce leaves
4 tomato slices

Directions:
Heat gas or charcoal grill.  In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, lemon juice and garlic.  Cover; refrigerate until serving time.

In a large bowl, stir together turkey, oats, soy sauce, seasoning blend, onion and egg white until well-mixed.  Shape into 4 patties, about 3/4 inch thickness. 

Place patties on the grill.  Cook, uncovered, over medium heat for about 15 minutes, turning once, until thermometer inserted in the center of the patty reads 165 degrees.

Spread 1 Tbsp. of the mayonnaise mixture on bottom of each bun.  Place burgers over mayonnaise; top with lettuce, tomatoes and tops of the buns.
