Whether you’re just starting out on your weight loss journey or wanting to maintain your healthy lifestyle, making things as simple as possible is one of the keys to success.
So we have created The 5 Ingredients And Under Recipe Book, with healthy recipes that are quick and easy to prepare.
Here is one of our favourites from the book
Turkey Burgers
Burgers can still be eaten while on a healthy eating plan. These homemade turkey burgers are a much better alternative to takeaway burgers or fast food. Filled with protein, fibre and calcium, they are an easy to prepare and healthy meal.
Ingredients
- 100 grams of lean turkey mince
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (0.5 grams)
- cooking oil spray
- 1 slice reduced-fat cheddar cheese (20 grams)
- 1 wholegrain roll (80 grams)
- 1/2 cup mixed lettuce leaves (15 grams)
- 1/2 grated carrot (35 grams)
This is a 5 ingredients & under recipe. Please note that non-key ingredients such as salt, pepper, water, oil, vinegars, some herbs & spices, accompaniments such as side salads or vegetable sides etc are not included in the “5 & under” ingredient tally.
Method
- Combine turkey and dried herbs and form into one burger patty per serve.
- Heat a non-stick frypan over medium-high heat and lightly spray with cooking oil spray. Cook patty for 3-5 minutes on both sides, until cooked through. About 2 minutes before ready, place the cheese slice on top of the patty and allow it to melt from the heat of the pan. You could cook the patty on a barbecue hot plate if you preferred.
- Halve the roll and top one half with lettuce and carrot. Add turkey patty and top half of roll and serve.
