Put together these fajita-inspired turkey burgers for a speedy supper after a late-afternoon or early-evening workout. Use prechopped onion and bell pepper, if you prefer, so the burgers come together even more quickly. Garnish with fresh lettuce, tomato, and red onion, if desired. Ingredients:
1/4 cup bottled tomatillo salsa |
2 tablespoons chopped avocado |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro |
2 (1-ounce) slices white bread |
cooking spray |
1/2 cup finely chopped onion |
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper |
1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper |
2 teaspoons fajita seasoning, divided |
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided |
1 tablespoon tomato paste |
1 pound ground turkey |
1 egg white |
4 (1 1/2-ounce) whole wheat hamburger buns, toasted |
Directions:
1. Combine tomatillo salsa, chopped avocado, and cilantro; set aside.
2. Place bread in a food processor; pulse 10 times or until crumbs measure 1 cup.
3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion and bell peppers; sauté 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon fajita seasoning and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Cool.
4. Combine breadcrumbs, onion mixture, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons fajita seasoning, remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, tomato paste, turkey, and egg white in a large bowl. Using damp hands, divide turkey mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a 3/4-inch-thick patty. Heat pan over medium heat. Recoat pan with cooking spray. Add patties; cook 4 minutes on each side or until done. Place 1 patty on bottom half of each bun. Top each serving with 1 1/2 tablespoons salsa mixture; top with remaining halves of buns.
