Cranberry Apple Turkey Burger
I have a hard time eating hamburgers now....no I'm not turning into a vegan, but I do like veggie burger more. At this time I haven't tried to make a black bean veggie burger but I'm working on it. I do have a turkey burger that will make you slap your mama for not cooking it when you were little child. This recipe is very affordable and will help with getting your body right & tight. Try it & let me know what you think.
Time: Prep-10 min/Cooking 15-20min
Ingredients:
1 lb of Ground Turkey
2 tsp of Olive Oil
1/2 tbsp of Garlic powder
1/2 tsp of Season Salt
2 tsp of Garlic Minced
dried cranberries
4 tsp Dijon Mustard
2 tsp of Curry powder
1 red or green apple
First thing you need to do is cut the core out of the apple. Pull the stem off the apple, and take the knife and push it through the apple where the stem was. Now take the knife and twist till all the apple seed & core is gone. Chop the apple in small pieces and place to the side.
Now take a non-stick pan and add the olive oil to it with medium heat and once the oil is hot add garlic minced and apples to the heat. While apples are cooking add the ground turkey to a mixing bowl along with the dried cranberries, garlic powder, season salt, Dijon mustard & curry powder. . Once the apple & garlic has caramelized(4 to 5 minutes) add them to the mixing bowel too. Set non-stick pan to the side until patties are made.
This is where your going to have to use your fingers(long nail people good luck) to mix content in the bowl till its mixed together. At that point your going to take the meat and make 4 patties. Place the pan back on the medium high burner and place the patties in the pan. No oil should be needed...GIRGIT
Now let the patties cook on each side for 4 to 5 minutes. Once the patties are done place a cover of the pan to allow the steam to cook the inside 5 to 6 minutes. People usually think the turkey meat will get dry. RIGHT! The apples will keep everything moist. Once your patties are done steaming take them off and set them on a plate.
Now you can put this on a salad, wrap or a wheat thin sandwich with your favorite veggies, low fat mayo, and mustard. Remember condiments add up so watch it.
The patties are only 319 calories(Myfitnesspal calorie counter app make your recipe column)
