Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Ground turkey (93% lean)
- 4 large Egg whites
- 4 pieces Whole wheat English muffins
- 4 slices Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 large Tomato
- 4 leaves Leaf lettuce
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and shape the mixture into four equal-sized patties.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil cooking spray. Cook the turkey patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and browned on the outside.
While the patties are cooking, separate the egg whites into a bowl, discarding the yolks. Whisk the egg whites until slightly frothy.
In another non-stick skillet, lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray and scramble the egg whites over medium heat until fully cooked and fluffy. Set aside and keep warm.
Toast the whole wheat English muffins in a toaster until golden brown.
Slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds.
To assemble each breakfast burger, start by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of a toasted English muffin. Add a cooked turkey patty on top, followed by a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese, scrambled egg whites, a slice of tomato, and a couple of onion rings. Top with the other half of the English muffin.
Serve warm and enjoy your low-fat breakfast burger with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete meal.
