LOWFAT TURKEY BURGER RECIPE
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.

Steps:

- 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.

- 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.
