Turkey Burger and Fries

The turkey burgers were not bad, but I'd rather have the 93% lean ground beef that is approved on this diet. The burgers were kind of dry. The fries were AWESOME.

Turkey Burgers

1 egg white or 1/4 cup egg substitute
1/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs*
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp Teriyaki sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
20 ounces 93% lean ground turkey

*If you want to keep the burgers "core", then sub the breadcrumbs for oatmeal and add a dash of a few seasonings like onion powder and dried parsley.

Mix first 6 ingredients in a bowl until well blended. Mix ground meat into egg mixture, just until mixed being careful not to overmix (or else you'll wind up with tough burgers).

Shape into 6 patties. Grill or freeze promptly.


Fries
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 1-2 russet potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Peel potato and cut into thin french-fry slices. Put in a pot of boiling water for 2 1/2 minutes. Drain water into colander and let fries sit to cool. Mix olive oil and 1/2 tsp of salt in a bowl and coat fries with olive oil mix. Spread fries out on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 min at 400 degrees. Last half of the cooking, turn fries every five minutes.
