Enjoy a savory twist on the classic turkey burger, featuring a melty mozzarella center with a crispy, golden exterior. This well-balanced patty packs lean protein, subtle herbs, and a satisfying crunch from whole wheat breadcrumbs, making it perfect for any meal of the day.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Bread Crumbs
1 large Egg White
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, gently mix the lean ground turkey with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until just combined, taking care not to overwork the meat.
Divide the turkey mixture into four equal portions. Flatten each portion into a thin patty on a piece of plastic wrap.
Place a slice of mozzarella (cut to fit if necessary) in the center of each patty. Fold the edges of the turkey around the cheese to completely enclose it, forming a ball, then gently flatten into a burger shape.
Place breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Brush or dip each turkey burger lightly with egg white, then coat evenly with the breadcrumbs.
Lightly spray the tops of the patties with cooking spray to help achieve a crispy texture.
Transfer the burgers onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the turkey is fully cooked and the outside is crisp and golden.
Allow the burgers to rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy as a standalone dish or served on a bed of greens.
