Alright, so this post is going to be short and sweet. Why, you ask? Well, I'm just flat out exhausted! A long, testing-filled day at school, combined with a tiring (in a good way) aerobics video makes for one wiped-out teacher. I know that I've posted a turkey burger recipe before, but if you're like me, and you like to keep things healthy, then you can never have too much of a good thing. I enjoy recipes where you have one protein to buy but countless ways to prepare it. The apples keep the turkey moist, and the low-fat cheese oozes just enough to create the perfect crust on the outside of the patty. Y-U-M. YUM.
APPLE CHEDDAR TURKEY BURGERS
Ingredients (4 servings):
-1 lb. extra lean ground turkey
-1 gala apple (finely diced)
-1/2 c. 2% shredded sharp cheddar cheese
-salt and pepper to taste
-1/2 t. garlic powder
-1/2 t. ground sage
-1/4 t. crushed red pepper
-1/2 t. lemon pepper
-1 egg white
Combine all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Separate the meat into four equal portions. press into patties about a half an inch thick. Over medium high heat, cook the burgers for 5-7 minutes per side. The turkey should be completely white on the inside. Pink is NOT okay! Enjoy :)
