Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground turkey (94% lean)
- 4 oz Sharp cheddar cheese (cubed)
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tbsp Almond flour
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil (for grilling)
- 4 pieces Lettuce wraps or whole-grain sandwich thins (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, almond flour, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
Divide the turkey mixture into 8 equal portions and form each portion into a thin patty, about 4 inches in diameter.
Place a cube of cheddar cheese in the center of 4 of the patties.
Cover each cheese-topped patty with another plain turkey patty. Gently press the edges together to seal the cheese inside and form a stuffed burger.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium heat. Brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the stuffed burgers on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the burgers are fully cooked. Avoid pressing down on the burgers to keep the cheese from leaking out.
Remove the burgers from the grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the cheddar stuffed burgers with lettuce wraps or whole-grain sandwich thins, along with your favorite South Beach Diet-approved side dish.
