Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground turkey
- 1 cup Quinoa
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Oatmeal, finely ground
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 Whole grain burger buns
- 1 sliced Avocado
- 1 sliced Tomato
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Cook the quinoa according to package instructions. Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, cooked quinoa, egg, finely ground oatmeal, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined.
Divide the mixture into eight equal portions and shape each portion into a patty using your hands.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the patties in the skillet, cooking each side for about 4-5 minutes or until they are cooked through and have a nice golden brown color.
While the patties are cooking, slice the avocado and tomato, and prepare the lettuce leaves.
Once patties are cooked, lightly toast the whole grain burger buns in the skillet or toaster.
To assemble the burger, spread a dollop of Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each bun.
Place a lettuce leaf on the bun, followed by a cooked patty, a slice of avocado, and a slice of tomato. Add another cooked patty on top.
Place the top bun on top of the second patty to complete the burger.
Serve immediately with a side of fresh greens or a small salad for a complete heart-healthy meal.
