Prep
Season the lean ground beef with salt and pepper, then shape into a patty slightly wider than the whole wheat bun with a shallow centre dimple.

Sear
Grill the turkey bacon over medium heat for 3 minutes, turning once, until the edges brown and crisp, then set aside to drain.

Grill
Grill the patty over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side until well browned and the centre reaches 160F.

Melt
Lay the reduced-fat cheddar on the patty for the last minute, cover until it slumps, then toast the bun cut sides for 1 minute.

Plate
Spread Dijon and ketchup on the bun base, stack lettuce, tomato, onion, patty and bacon, cap and serve immediately.
