Description

Easy to make turkey burgers


Ingredients

450g lean turkey mince

1 tsp mixed herbs

1 Egg

Salt and Pepper

4 whole-wheat hamburger rolls

4 slices of low-fat American cheese singles

A bag of salad (romaine, mixed greens, etc.)

A low-fat dressing of choice

A ripe green pepper

A ripe red tomato

2 ripe apples of choice (Granny Smith is refreshing)


Instructions

Mix the turkey mince, egg, herbs and seasoning in a bowl until well combined then make into 4 patties.

Fry gently on medium heat until thoroughly cooked using a low calorie cooking spray.

Warm a large non-stick skillet. Prepare four whole wheat buns with a slice of low-fat American cheese on each. Add lettuce to each bun from the salad bag.

Prepare the salad by pouring the entire bag into a medium-sized serving bowl. Cut up the tomato and the pepper into small pieces. You can add other veggies if you like. Save the dressing for individuals to pour themselves so that the salad doesn’t start to wilt.

While the last two burgers are cooking, cut up the two apples into wedges. Leave on the skins. If you have an apple wedger, this makes perfect portions. A good tip is to use two different kinds of apples for more visual appeal.
