  • 1 1/4 pounds turkey, ground, (at least 90% lean)*
  • 1 package(s) broccoli, frozen, (10-ounces) thawed in microwave and well-drained
  • 2 egg white(s)
  • 1/4 cup(s) ketchup

PREPARATION

In large bowl, mix together ground turkey, cooled broccoli, egg whites, ketchup, mustard, and garlic powder with hands until blended. Form burger mixture into six medium-sized patties.

Preheat large griddle over medium-high heat (or preheat grill pan or outdoor grill). Coat grill/pan with oil spray and add burgers.

Cook 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until burgers reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees. During the last few minutes of cooking, top each burger with a slice of cheese.

Place each burger on a bun, if desired, and layer with the optional toppings.

*May substitute lean ground sirloin in place of ground turkey.
