Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground beef (93% lean)
- 0.5 cup Old-fashioned oats
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 large Egg white
- 4 buns Whole-grain burger buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato Sliced tomatoes
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, oats, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and egg white.
Mix the ingredients using your hands until well combined, taking care not to over-mix which can make the burgers tough.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 4 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch thick.
Preheat a grill or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the burgers are no longer pink in the center.
While the burgers are cooking, prepare the whole-grain buns by lightly toasting them on the grill or in the oven.
Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on the bottom half of each bun, top with a lettuce leaf and tomato slice, then cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately for a delicious, heart-healthy meal.
