Ahhhh, lunch! While breakfast is my very favorite meal of the day lunch comes in a close second. On the menu today is 99% lean scallion turkey burgers. Again I have turned to my local Trader Joes for my lean ground turkey. It takes me about 22 minutes to get to the closest Traders but once I'm there it's worth every minute in the car! As you know by now I like to prepare my own foods and create my own recipes of my favorite restaurant and store bought foods. I challenge any restaurant with this recipe! Yes, it's THAT good! But it is spicy so my 3 sweet kiddo testers are out of a job with this one.
Healthy, Spicy Turkey Burger Recipe:
1 lb extra lean ground turkey (99% lean!)
2 eggs
5 scallions finely chopped (use the whole thing except the roots part)
2 T ground flaxseed
2 T wheat germ
2 T Parmesan cheese grated
1 T Italian seasoning
1 T Fresh Horseradish (Trader Joe's is VERY potent!)
1 t Mexican style chili powder
Freshly ground pepper (to taste)
Directions:
Mix everything well. Form into patties any size you want. I make mine the size of a piece of bread so it fits nicely on toast. Cook on a pan that has been sprayed with non stick spray. Cook about 3-5 min on each side (depends on size and thickness of your meat of course). Place on top of a piece of toast and some spinach or lettuce. I used some fresh horseradish to add another zing. Yummy! Enjoy and tell me what you think! I could just eat these all day!
