Eggplant Turkey Burger
(I made mine without the cheese because I wanted to save my blue container for nuts)
Ingredients
- 2 oz. raw ground 93% lean turkey breast
- ¾ medium onion, ¼ finely chopped, ½ sliced (divided use)
- 2 large egg whites (1/4 cup)
- 1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tsp. hot pepper sauce (like Tabasco)
- 1 medium eggplant, PEELED, sliced into 8 rounds
- 1 medium bell pepper sliced (or chopped)
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- 4 slices Muenster cheese (4 oz.)
- 1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat grill or broiler to high.
- Combine turkey, chopped onion, egg whites, parsley, and hot sauce in a medium bowl; mix well.
- Form turkey into 4 patties.
- Grill or broil patties for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until no longer pink in the middle.
- Set aside. Keep warm.
- Brush sliced onion, eggplant, and bell pepper with oil.
- Grill or broil for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned.
- Place a slice of eggplant on each of four serving plates.
- Top each with a patty, a slice of onion, a slice of bell pepper, and a slice of cheese.
- Sprinkle with vinegar and top with a second slice of eggplant.
