Low Fat Turkey Burgers: Recipe of the Day
Cooking for 1 or 2!
1/2 pound lean ground turkey breast, enough ofr 2 burgers
1 garlic clove, minced
1 scallion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, leaves stripped and chopped
1 teaspoon allspice,
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated or ground
1/4 teaspoon coarse black pepper
pinch of coarse salt
2 bib or green leaf lettuce leaves
2 whole wheat or plain Kaiser rolls, split
Extra-virgin olive oil or vegetable oil for drizzeling the buns
Preheat a large nonstick skillet to medium-high heat. Combine the turkey, garlic, scallions, thyme, allspice, nutmeg, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Form mixture into 2 large patties no more than 1-inch thick. Drizzle the patties with a touch of oil. Place patties in a hot pan or on a hot grill and cook 6 minutes on each side. Squeeze the juice of 1 ripe lime over the patties before removing them from the heat. Place the cooked patties on bun bottoms and top with lettuce leaves.
Don’t forget to add your favorite condiments! I like lots of ketchup.
