Skinny Turkey Burgers That Taste Great

Skinny Turkey Burgers That Taste Great

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large red onions cut into slices
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1¼ pound package lean ground turkey
  • 1 cup yellow or red onion, chopped fine
  • ½ cup Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue, or your favorite
  • 1 egg white
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Fresh ground pepper to taste
  • 6 whole wheat buns, I love Trader Joe’s Honey Whole Wheat Buns or whole wheat sandwich thins or your favorite bun
  • Romaine lettuce
  • Tomato slices
  • Ketchup
  • Mustard
  • Barbecue sauce

Instructions
 

  • Place sliced onions on a microwave-safe plate. Cook for 5-6 minutes in the microwave until onions are soft.
  • Coat a large nonstick pan with cooking spray. Add olive oil and heat. Add water, cooked onions, and 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce.  Sauté on medium-high heat until onions are very soft and browned, about 8 minutes.  Stir often.
  • This burger is best made using a Panini grill or George Foreman grill.  Preheat 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.  If you want to cook these on the barbecue, only use ¼ cup of barbecue sauce instead of ½ cup. Be sure to coat the grill with cooking spray before adding the burgers, so they won’t stick!
  • 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 for about 4-5 minutes.
  • Serve burgers topped with warm sautéed onions, lettuce, and tomato.  Serve ketchup, mustard, and barbecue sauce on the side.
  • Any leftover burgers will freeze great for another time.
