Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground turkey
- 100 grams Shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 2 large Egg whites
- 50 grams Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg whites, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well using your hands or a large spoon until everything is combined and holds together.
Divide the turkey mixture into 8 equal portions. Take one portion and flatten it into a small patty. Add a tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese on top, then fold the patty in half over the cheese, sealing the edges. Repeat with the remaining portions and cheese.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the patties in the skillet without crowding them. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
Cook the patties for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through. Ensure they reach an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F) to be safe for consumption.
Once done, remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest on a paper towel-lined plate for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete low-fat meal.
