Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground turkey
- 4 buns Whole grain hamburger buns
- 1 large Egg white
- 0.25 cup Rolled oats
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 large Tomato, sliced
- 1 small Avocado, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 spray Olive oil spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, egg white, rolled oats, minced garlic, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients together until well combined. Do not overmix to avoid tough burgers.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray with olive oil.
Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and juices run clear. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the whole grain buns in a toaster or under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.
Assemble the burgers: On the bottom half of each bun, place a layer of fresh spinach leaves.
Add the turkey patty on top, followed by slices of tomato and avocado.
Finish with the top half of the bun. Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy classic hamburger!
