Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams lean ground turkey
- 4 pieces whole grain burger buns
- 60 grams fresh spinach leaves
- 1 medium-sized ripe tomato
- 1 medium-sized avocado
- 4 large egg
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 60 grams low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well and form into 4 equal-sized patties.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
Slice the tomato and avocado thinly.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet one at a time, cooking to your preferred doneness (sunny-side-up is recommended for its aesthetic appeal on the burger). Season the eggs lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the low-fat Greek yogurt with lemon juice to create a simple sauce.
Toast the whole grain burger buns lightly.
Assemble the burgers by spreading the yogurt sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place a handful of fresh spinach leaves on the sauce, followed by a turkey patty.
Top each patty with avocado slices, a tomato slice, and a fried egg.
Finish by placing the top half of the bun over the fried egg. Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy meal!
