Skinny Turkey Burgers That Taste Great

Directions

1. Place sliced onions on a microwave-safe plate. Cook for 5-6 minutes in the microwave until onions are soft.

2. Coat a large nonstick pan with cooking spray. Add olive oil and heat. Add water, cooked onions and 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce.  Saute on medium-high heat until onions are very soft and browned, about 8 minutes.  Stir often.

3. This burger is best made using a Panini grill or George Forman grill.  Preheat the sandwich grill. In a large bowl add the ground turkey, chopped onions, barbecue sauce, egg white, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper.  Mix until well blended.

4. Shape mixture into 6 patties.  Form the patties as large as the bun since they shrink when cooked.  Cook for 4-5 minutes total because both sides of the burger are cooked at once. To cook in a nonstick pan, coat the pan first with cooking spray.  Add patties and cook on each side about 4-5 minutes.

5. Serve burgers topped with warm sauteed onions, lettuce and tomato.  Serve ketchup, mustard and barbecue sauce on the side.

6. Any leftover burgers will freeze great for another time.

Cutting Calories Tips

If you want to cut the calories, try a bun alternatives such as Oroweat Honey Wheat Sandwich Thins.  These can be found in most large supermarkets.  One sandwich thin has 100 calories, 1g fat, and 5g fiber.  They come in several flavors with the same nutrition facts.

Cooking burgers in a George Forman grill or Panini grill cuts down on the fat of the turkey because the all the excess fat oozes out of the burger, when cooked.
