INGREDIENTS

4 oz Lean Ground Turkey

1 Whole Wheat Bun

2 Romaine Lettuce leaves

2 Tomato Slices

1 Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese Stick

1 tbsp Whole-Grain Breadcrumbs

1 Large Egg White

0.5 tsp Garlic Powder

Salt & Pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  In a bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently to form a patty.

• 3

  Form the turkey mixture into a 4 oz patty and set aside.

• 4

  For the mozzarella sticks, carefully cut the mozzarella stick in half lengthwise for two slimmer pieces.

• 5

  In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg white. In another, place the whole-grain breadcrumbs.

• 6

  Dip each mozzarella piece first into the egg white, then coat with breadcrumbs. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

• 7

  Bake the mozzarella sticks in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the coating is golden and the cheese is softened (but not melted completely).

• 8

  While the cheese is baking, cook the turkey patty in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

• 9

  Assemble the turkey burger by placing the cooked patty on the whole wheat bun, and topping it with lettuce and tomato slices.

• 10

  Serve the burger alongside the crispy baked mozzarella sticks, and enjoy!
