Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean brisket, ground
- 4 pieces whole wheat hamburger buns
- 1 piece egg white
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 pieces low-fat cheddar cheese slices
- 0.5 piece red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 piece tomato, sliced
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- as needed olive oil spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lean brisket, egg white, whole grain mustard, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape them into patties about 1/2-inch thick.
Preheat a grill or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray the surface with olive oil.
Cook the brisket patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
Place a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on each patty about 2 minutes before removing them from the grill to allow the cheese to melt.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the whole wheat hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
Once the patties are cooked and cheese is melted, assemble the burgers by placing each brisket patty on a toasted bun base.
Top each patty with a slice of tomato, red onion rings, and a lettuce leaf.
Cover with the top bun and serve each burger immediately to enjoy it hot and juicy.
