Turkey Burgers

With summer right around the corner, the time has come to start putting a little extra work into getting in shape and with that of course is an improved diet.  Now I would say that I am always trying to find ways to eat healthy without sacrificing too much on flavor.  One of my all time favorite compromises is the turkey burger.  I always opt for the extra lean ground turkey but if you are looking to make the jump from beef start out with the lean option which is 93/7 fat content– it’s still much lower in fat than beef but not full health freak status.  I promise you will not be disappointed.  Another thing I absolutely recommend is using Challah dinner rolls.  They are egg bread and when fresh are soft and fluffy and the idea vehicle for maximum meat and veggies - with of course the main goal being able to fit the burger in your mouth!

Ingredients:

Serves 4

1lb extra lean ground turkey

2 Tbsp planko crumbs

1 egg 

2 Tbsp bbq sauce

challah buns

1 avocado, thinly sliced

extra sharp cheddar 

pickles

condiments

Method:

Combine the turkey, egg, planko crumbs and bbq sauce into burger patties and throw on the grill until done, about 10 minutes depending on your grill.  Add cheese if using.  You can also cook on the stove top (if it's not grilling season)!  Add condiments, toast bun and assemble and you are ready to eat!  Such an easy and healthy meal!
