Low Fat Turkey Burgers Food

SPICED TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the turkey mince, onion, garlic, curry powder, coriander and egg yolk with a little salt and pepper. Combine well with your hands, then shape into 4 flat burger patties.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan over a high heat, then cook the burgers for 5 mins each side or until cooked through. Toast the cut sides of the burger buns. Place the salad on the bottom halves of the warm buns, then top with the burgers and chutney or lime pickle.

LEMON & THYME TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a small pan, add the onion, fry for a few mins until lightly browned and soft, then cool. Mix the turkey with the lemon zest, thyme, parsley, onion and seasoning until well combined.
• Shape the mixture into 4 burgers and wrap a rasher of bacon around each. Put in a roasting tin, bake for 20-25 mins, then pan-fry for a few mins on each side to crisp up the bacon. Serve in a bun with lettuce, sliced tomato, tomato sauce and vegetable chips (recipe below).

LOWFAT TURKEY BURGER RECIPE

Steps:

• Slice up onions and satuee them in butter until dark and carmalized.
• Set aside and allow to cool for 3 minutes.
• While onions are cooler remove turkey from wrapping and put in a large bowl.
• Add either 2 whole eggs or 4 egg whites. Add ranch powder. Add Pepper.
• Mix and then add in onions when cool and mix again.
• Will be gooey, cook on foil then freeze or freeze them raw and cook later.
• I cook these on foil at 425 in the oven until brown. Maybe 10 minutes or so max in a convection oven.

TURKEY BURGERS WITH BEETROOT RELISH

Steps:

• Tip turkey into a bowl with the thyme. Finely grate in the zest from the lemon and add a little seasoning. Use your hands to mix the ingredients well, then shape into 4 patties. Chill until ready to cook. Can be frozen for up to 1 month.
• Mix the beetroot with the juice from ½ the lemon, onion, parsley, oil and mustard. Grill, griddle or barbecue the burgers for about 6 mins each side and serve with the beetroot relish, lettuce and pitta breads.

LEAN TURKEY BURGER WITH SWEET POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Zap the sweet potato wedges in the microwave for about 6 mins on full power until just turning soft. Leave to rest for 30 secs.
• While the sweet potato is spinning in the microwave, mix the mince in a bowl with the onion, garlic, egg and apple. Get your hands stuck in and work the ingredients together with a good pinch of salt and pepper, the oregano and paprika. Shape the mixture into two burgers about 3cm thick. Place on a lined baking tray in the oven for 20-25 mins, turning half way through cooking, until cooked through.
• Heat the coconut oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the sweet potato wedges and shallow-fry for about 3 mins each side until they are nicely browned all over and cooked through to the centre. (Alternatively, toss in the oil and roast in the oven for 15-20 mins.) Drain on kitchen paper, then season with a good pinch of salt.
• Serve the burgers with the sweet potato wedges and a portion of green veg either steamed, blanched or boiled.

VEAL OR TURKEY BURGERS W/ONION GRAVY (LOW FAT!)

Steps:

• Season the meat with salt and pepper to taste. Weigh out 4 oz/125 gm of meat and shape into a pattie. Do this with the remaining meat. Place patties on a platter, cover with plastic wrap/cling film and set aside.
• Pour water into a large fry pan/skillet over medium high heat. Add stock cubes (use beef cubes for veal, chicken cubes for turkey), onions and mushrooms. Bring to a boil and then lower heat to simmer. Cook until onions are just about cooked. You may need to add more water as the veggies cook as you want to have about 2 cups worth of gravy at the end.
• Gently place the burgers in the pan with the veggies and poach for about 5-7 minutes on each side, pressing down with a spatula to flatten a bit. Cook until juices run clear. Remove the cooked burgers to a plate and keep warm. Return sauce to a boil and add more water if necessary.
• Put cold water into a small cup or bowl and stir in cornstarch with a fork or whisk. Slowly pour into the sauce in the pan and thicken.
• Place rice or noodles on plate, place two burgers on top, and pour gravy over burgers.

HEALTHY LOW-FAT BLACK BEAN VEGGIE BURGERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mash the beans until almost smooth (or puree with the onions).
• Add onions and the rest of the ingredients, except the oil, adding the flour a tablespoon at a time until the mixture is at your desired consistency.
• Form bean mixture into flat patties and fry patties in a small amount of oil until slightly firm.
• Serve topped with hummus or a Greek feta salad salad dressing, spread on a whole wheat bun. I tried these with the usual ketchup and they weren't nearly as good -- trust me.

LOW CARB TURKEY BURGERS (WITH A KICK!)

KITTENCAL'S MOIST TURKEY BURGERS FOR THE GRILL (LOW FAT)

Steps:

• Shape into patties, then place the patties on a plate and cover with plastic wrap; chill for 4-24 hours to blend flavors (24 hours is even better!).
• Place on the barbecue and grill until done (about 12-15 minutes) if made on a outdoor grill.
• DELICIOUS!

MEDITERRANEAN TURKEY BURGERS

TURKEY & CORIANDER BURGERS WITH GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Mix the mince, Worcestershire sauce, breadcrumbs, half each of the coriander and onion, and some seasoning until combined. Form into 4 burgers, then chill until ready to cook.
• To make the guacamole, mash the avocado with the remaining coriander and onion, the chilli and lime juice, and season.
• Heat a griddle pan or barbecue until hot. Griddle the rolls, cut-side down, for 1 min, then keep warm. Brush the burgers with the oil to keep them from sticking. Cook for 7-8 mins on each side until charred and cooked through. Fill the rolls with the burgers, guacamole and peppadews.
