Tim asked for cheeseburgers for his birthday dinner and you know if a burger is being served in this house it will have to be upgraded in its nutritional value. So I give you the Sneaky Burger :) Ground turkey, broiled with veggies in it, delicious and juicy and a great upgrade. I put green peppers, onion, parsley and basil in my burgers, but red or spicy peppers, zucchini, spinach, grated carrots or chopped celery would work well too. We also use the new sandwich flat breads instead of buns because some of them are made with whole grains and have no trans fats.
Sneaky Burgers
1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
1 small onion
1/2 green pepper
1 egg
1/2 cup finely chopped basil
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
salt and pepper
In a a food processor or chopper finely chop the veggies. (pulverize)Place all ingredients in a medium bowl and work them together with your hands. Form into patties appropriate for your buns. Place patties on a broiler pan. Set your broiler on the highest setting and broil burgers 8 - 10 min and then turn them over. Continue to broil until meat reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. If you want cheese add it right at the end and leave in the oven for about 1 min.
