1 cup plain Greek-style yogurt
2 oz dried multigrain breadcrumbs
None None olive oil cooking spray
None None Burgers
1/2 lb extra-lean ground beef
1 None small white onion, peeled and coarsely grated, excess liquid squeezed out
1 None small carrot, peeled and coarsely grated
1 None large egg white, lightly beaten
2 tsp cornstarch
2 slices aged reduced-fat cheese, cut in half

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425\u00b0F. For the onion rings, line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the onion rings and yogurt in a medium bowl and mix well until onion is coated. Dip onion slices in breadcrumbs and arrange in a single layer on prepared baking sheets. Generously spray with oil. Bake 20-25 mins or until golden-brown and crisp.
For the burgers, combine ground beef, grated onion, carrot, egg white and cornstarch in a medium bowl. Shape into 4 patties. Spray with oil. Heat a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add the patties and cook 2-3 mins each side. Transfer to a baking sheet. Top each patty with a piece of cheese and bake 2 mins, until melted and bubbly.
Using a 3 1/2 inch round pastry cutter, cut the bread into rounds, then toast. Layer the lettuce, tomato, burgers and barbecue sauce between two bread rounds and serve with onion rings.
