This isn’t your usual boring & bland turkey burger. I used my secret ingredient to make it extra moist & amazing. You’ll be surprised by the nutritional stats because it tastes so good 😉 It’s also very filling because it’s super high protein. Don’t worry about the lack of a bun either-you won’t miss it at all!
Ingredients:
1.25 pounds extra lean 99% fat free ground turkey
3/4 cup low fat ricotta cheese (I used Sorrento)
1 packet of zesty Italian salad dressing mix (Good Seasons)
1 can (8oz) Hunt’s tomato sauce with basil, garlic, & oregano
6 slices Sargento extra thin provolone cheese (or another cheese that you prefer)
Combine the first three ingredients very well with your hands. The ricotta is amazing in this to keep it moist & the seasoning adds a great amount of flavor. Form mixture into 3 large patties. Cook in a nonstick pan over medium high heat for about 7 minutes per side or until meat is thoroughly cooked.
Remove from heat & add sauce evenly to all burgers. Add 2 slices of cheese to top of each burger. Place pan back on burner & cover with lid or tin foil until cheese is melted. I like to have sautéed spinach as a side for this.
Per burger: 367 calories & a whopping 57 grams protein!
If you eat it with spinach your total meal will easily be below 400 calories. Enjoy 😉
