LOWFAT TURKEY BURGER RECIPE



Lowfat Turkey Burger Recipe image

Love these. Very high in protein, low in fat. This was originally a hamburger recipe but I changed it a bit to work for turkey breast. The onions make these burgers awesome so be sure and include them. These arn't really for grilling more for baking because they don't hold together well. Does work alright if they are frozen first.

Time 45m

Yield 10 Burgers, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 lbs lean turkey breast
2 large onions
1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
1 tablespoon pepper
2 tablespoons butter
4 egg whites

Steps:

  • Slice up onions and satuee them in butter until dark and carmalized.
  • Set aside and allow to cool for 3 minutes.
  • While onions are cooler remove turkey from wrapping and put in a large bowl.
  • Add either 2 whole eggs or 4 egg whites. Add ranch powder. Add Pepper.
  • Mix and then add in onions when cool and mix again.
  • Will be gooey, cook on foil then freeze or freeze them raw and cook later.
  • I cook these on foil at 425 in the oven until brown. Maybe 10 minutes or so max in a convection oven.

Tips:

  • To make the turkey chalupas healthier, use lean ground turkey and low-fat cheese.
  • You can also use whole wheat tortillas instead of regular tortillas.
  • To save time, you can cook the ground turkey and assemble the chalupas ahead of time and then bake them just before serving.
  • If you don't have a chalupa maker, you can use a tortilla press or a rolling pin to flatten the tortillas.
  • For a more flavorful chalupa, try using a variety of toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and shredded lettuce.

Conclusion:

This recipe for low-fat turkey chalupas is a delicious and healthy alternative to the traditional chalupa. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a fun party appetizer, these turkey chalupas are sure to be a hit.
