Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil pure
  Olive oil is a monounsaturated fat that helps control blood sugar. Diabetics are often told to eat a low-fat/low-carb diet to help prevent heart damage and avoid severe swings in glucose levels. But a study published in the journal of the German Diabetes Association found that glucose levels were lower in people who ate monounsaturated fats than those who avoided all fats.
• 1 small onion(s) sliced
  Onions and their close cousins--garlic, chives, scallions, shallots and leeks--are valuable allies in the fight against diabetes because they help lower blood sugar levels, increase sensitivity to insulin, and prevent diabetic complications such as heart disease and stroke. Packed with phytonutrients, they are a good source of beneficial vitamin C, contain no fat and are loaded with dietary fiber.
• 1 pound grass-fed turkey ground
• 2 cloves garlic minced
  A review of garlic studies in a 2007 issue of Molecular Nutrition and Food Research noted the role of garlic as both an insulin secretagogue and as an insulin sensitizer. Overall the research suggests that garlic has antioxidative, antiinflammatory, and antiglycative properties that contribute to its role in preventing diabetes progression and the development of diabetes-related complications.
• 2 slices sharp cheddar cheese cut into quarters
• 1/4 cup horseradish prepared
• 1 Ezekial sprouted grain bun toasted and cut into quarters

Directions

Heat the olive oil and sauté the onions for 10-15 minutes or until soft and starting to caramelize.

Mix the ground turkey and garlic and form into 8 patties. Cook on medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Turn, top with the cheese and cook for 3-4 minutes more.

Spread horseradish on the buns, top with the burgers and onions and serve open-faced.

TIPS AND NOTES:

Add jalapenos, roasted peppers, lettuce or tomatoes to make these even heartier burgers.
