Spiced Turkey Burger

My husband and I decided to do the Chris Powell's 12 weeks challenge.  In this challenge they share some healthy and amazing recipes.  One of the recipes that I love is the Turkey Burger.  If you know me, I always alter the recipe a little.   Here is the super healthy, tasty and juicy spiced turkey burger.  It is so simple and you can make it ahead and freeze them by portion size.  That way, it is ready to go whenever you want to eat it.  You can serve it with anything, but if you don't want the carb, you can eat it without a bun.  I served mine with salad.

Ingredients:

1/2 lb lean ground turkey
Lettuce
Bell peppers
Cucumber

Seasonings for the turkey burger:

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp ground coriander
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
1/8 tsp oregano
1/8 tsp ground cumin
1 clove garlic, pressed
1/2 tsp salt

Mix all the seasonings in a large bowl.  Knead in ground turkey into bowl to combine with the seasonings until well mix.  Form meat into 2 balls.  Put each ball on a parchment paper and lay another parchment paper on top of the turkey ball.  Use a flat plate and press them down to form a circle like a burger.  Repeat with the second turkey ball. 

If you want to double or triple your recipe to make extra and freeze them, follow the steps above.   This recipe portion is only for 2 person.

You are now ready to cook them.  Put a little olive oil in a pan over medium heat.  Cook the burgers on both sides until done.  I served mine with lettuce, bell peppers and cucumber since we are watching our calories.  :-)

Enjoy the healthy eating!
