Ingredients
  

  • 5 sprays Cooking spray

Method
 

  1. Coat 12-14 inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high
  2. Add onion slices and lightly char for 1-2 minutes per side. Transfer to plate and cover
  3. Divide turkey into 8 equal balls. Transfer balls to hot pan and smash flat with a large spatula
  4. Season smashed turkey burger patties with pepper and salt. Cook 2-3 minutes on each side until browned on bottom. Repeat for next 4 burgers
  5. Top with cheese then remove from heat

Notes

Personally, I like to use pickled red onions which are easy to make a day or so in advance. I'm also a fan of toasted rolls.
At 8 points, this is a healthier alternative to fast food smash burgers which can really torpedo your points budget!
