This was a very tasty crispy healthier burger. Add other toppings (bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, olives... etc) if desired but keep in mind whatever you add needs to be added before going in oven. Once baked, it will be hard to lift top shell from the melted cheese.

Enjoy

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat; add onions and Sauté until tender.
Add ground turkey, cook until completely cooked; add salt and pepper to taste, red pepper flakes (if desired), garlic powder, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and crushed bouillon . Stir all ingredients together and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and drain any oil and blot any excess oil with paper towels.
