Hamburger Salad Sandwiches

Gail Jordan, Phoenix, AZ, sent me her healthy version of a salad that was very popular in the 1950's. This so good, be prepared to share the recipe with everyone who enjoys these tasty sandwiches.

Serves 6

16 ounces ground 90% lean turkey or beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon dried minced garlic
1/2 cup Kraft fat-free mayonnaise
1/4 cup dill pickle relish
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup peeled and chopped fresh tomatoes
6 lettuce leaves
6 reduced-calorie hamburger buns

In a large skillet sprayed with butter-flavored cooking spray, brown meat and onion. Stir in garlic. Place skillet on a wire rack and allow to cool completely. Stir in mayonnaise, pickle relish, mustard, and black pepper. Add tomatoes. Mix gently to combine. For each sandwich, place a lettuce leaf on bottom of a bun, spoon about 1/2 cup meat mixture over lettuce, and arrange bun top over meat mixture.
