INGREDIENTS
6 oz Ground Turkey (93% lean)
1 oz Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1 Whole Wheat Burger Bun
1 Egg
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tsp Dried Oregano
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
Olive Oil 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 large bowl, combine the ground turkey with the egg, whole wheat breadcrumbs, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the meat.
Divide the turkey mixture into equal portions (this recipe makes two burgers). Flatten each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Place a slice of low-fat mozzarella cheese in the center of one patty, leaving a border around the edges. Top with the second patty and press the edges together to seal in the cheese.
Lightly spray the formed burger with olive oil cooking spray to promote crisping, and if desired, sprinkle a little extra breadcrumb on the top for extra crunch.
Place the stuffed burgers on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior is crispy.
Optionally, toast the whole wheat bun for 2-3 minutes in the oven or on a grill.
Assemble the burger by placing the crispy baked mozzarella-stuffed turkey patty between the bun halves. Serve immediately.
