Ingredients

  • - Ground turkey: 1 lb 450 grams
  • - Ranch seasoning mix: 1 packet 28 grams
  • - Whole wheat breadcrumbs: 1/2 cup 120 ml
  • - Large egg: 1
  • - Chopped fresh parsley: 2 tablespoons 30 ml
  • - Freshly ground black pepper: to taste
  • - Salt: to taste
  • - Low-fat cheddar cheese optional: 2 slices
  • - Whole wheat burger buns: 2
  • - Fresh lettuce: 2 leaves
  • - Tomato slices: 4
  • - Avocado slices optional: 4

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, ranch seasoning, breadcrumbs, and chopped parsley.
  • Crack the egg into the mixture, adding a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  • Gently mix until all ingredients are well combined. Don't over-mix as it might make your High Protein Ranch Turkey Burgers tough.
  • Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet or grill over medium-high heat.
  • Once heated, place the patties onto the skillet or grill. Cook for 5 minutes on one side.
  • Flip the patties and cook for another 5 minutes on the other side. If you're adding cheese, place a slice on each patty a minute before they're done.
  • Toast the whole wheat buns for a minute or two until they're golden and crispy.
  • Assemble your High Protein Ranch Turkey Burger by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by the turkey patty, then tomato and avocado slices.
  • Top it off with the other half of the bun and voila! Your burger is ready to be devoured.

Notes

1. You can customize the High Protein Ranch Turkey Burger by adding your favorite veggies or even a dollop of low-fat Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
2. Always ensure your turkey is cooked thoroughly. It should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
3. If your burger mixture feels too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs to achieve the desired consistency.
4. For those watching their carb intake, you can swap the bun for lettuce wraps.
