I wanted to SHARE this new way I am making my turkey burgers
after reading this article and discovering this recipe. WOW!! They taste great…
Turkey Burgers That ROCK!
By Alice Conradt
Many people are used to DRY pre-made Turkey burgers that have no flavor and are nothing
to write home about! Well this recipe will make you
revisit (and re-think) picking up a frozen bag of burgers
again! By making your own homemade Turkey burgers, you will get more protein,
more flavor and a great juicy turkey burger in less time than it takes to thaw
those frozen patties out. Plus, no preservatives, processed grains and fillers!
We left out the breadcrumbs and substituted egg whites to bind the burgers
together.
Turkey Burgers That
ROCK!
In this version, I
serve it on a sandwich thin but my favorite way is to eat it as a lettuce wrap.
Pile leaves of bibb or butter lettuce together to make a top and bottom “bun”
and you will get additional veggies and extra crunch too!
I like to make extras
and freeze the burgers after I cook them. They are easy to thaw and take for
lunch or dinners in a pinch!
Turkey Burgers (Serves
4)
·
20oz Package lean
ground turkey
·
2 Cloves garlic –
finely minced
·
½ of a small yellow
onion (finely diced)
·
1 Tbsp balsamic
vinegar
·
1 Tbsp Worcestershire
sauce
·
½ Tbsp Sriraccha
(these will not be hot)
·
½ tsp Salt
·
½ tsp black pepper
·
2 egg whites
Combine all
ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Take a small amount of mixture out
and fry on griddle to make sure it is seasoned to your liking… taste. (I always
do this before making the whole batch).
**Adjust seasoning if necessary. Divide mixture in 4 to make (4)
5oz patties. Fry on griddle until cooked through (approximately 6-7 minutes per
side).
Burger toppings:
·
4 Oroweat Sandwich
Thins (or) bibb/butter lettuce wraps
Bibb lettuce, tomato, onion slices, pickles and favorite
condiments. (Be careful to limit your condiments to a few teaspoons, as they
can add significant calories to your meal quickly)
