INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 Whole Egg
2 tbsp Panko Breadcrumbs
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, whole egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the turkey mixture into equal portions (about two patties). Flatten each portion into a round patty on a piece of parchment paper.
Place a slice of mozzarella cheese in the center of each patty. Carefully fold the edges over to completely encase the cheese, forming a stuffed patty. Seal the edges well to prevent the cheese from leaking out during baking.
Lightly press the formed patties into the panko breadcrumbs to coat all sides evenly. If necessary, sprinkle additional breadcrumbs on top.
Place the breaded patties onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the turkey is fully cooked and the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the burger rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy baked mozzarella-stuffed turkey burger as a hearty meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
