INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 oz Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 large Egg White
1 tsp Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, egg white, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to incorporate the seasonings without overworking the meat.
Divide the turkey mixture into two equal portions. Flatten each into a thin patty on a clean surface.
Place the mozzarella cheese in the center of each patty. Carefully fold the edges over to seal the cheese completely inside, forming a stuffed patty.
In a small bowl, mix the whole wheat breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Lightly brush the outside of each turkey burger with olive oil, then coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture.
Place the stuffed patties on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the turkey is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy. If desired, you can broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to enhance the crispiness.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy as is or with a side of fresh salad for a balanced meal.
