Veal Or Turkey Burgers W Onion Gravy Low Fat Recipes

VEAL OR TURKEY BURGERS W/ONION GRAVY (LOW FAT!)

Steps:

• Season the meat with salt and pepper to taste. Weigh out 4 oz/125 gm of meat and shape into a pattie. Do this with the remaining meat. Place patties on a platter, cover with plastic wrap/cling film and set aside.
• Pour water into a large fry pan/skillet over medium high heat. Add stock cubes (use beef cubes for veal, chicken cubes for turkey), onions and mushrooms. Bring to a boil and then lower heat to simmer. Cook until onions are just about cooked. You may need to add more water as the veggies cook as you want to have about 2 cups worth of gravy at the end.
• Gently place the burgers in the pan with the veggies and poach for about 5-7 minutes on each side, pressing down with a spatula to flatten a bit. Cook until juices run clear. Remove the cooked burgers to a plate and keep warm. Return sauce to a boil and add more water if necessary.
• Put cold water into a small cup or bowl and stir in cornstarch with a fork or whisk. Slowly pour into the sauce in the pan and thicken.
• Place rice or noodles on plate, place two burgers on top, and pour gravy over burgers.

HEALTHY FRENCH ONION TURKEY BURGER RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Spray griddle pan with a non-stick olive oil. Heat to medium high. In the meantime, mix turkey with the onion seasoning. Grate about 3 tablespoons of the onion and add to mix. Add salt and fresh cracked pepper. Shape into four burgers. Slice the remaining onion. Cook your burgers on your griddle pan and saute your onions in a frying pan also sprayed with non-stick oil. Add the garlic. Hit the onions with salt and fresh cracked pepper. Once the onions carmelize add the Worcestershire sauce and turn off heat. Assemble the cooked burgers on foil in your oven or toaster oven and add the onions on top. Now here is where you can go crazy if you want! Top it with your favorite cheese or your traditional french onion soup cheeses...Mozzarella, Provolone, Parmigiana, whatever. I like to put a slice of low fat swiss. It packs a punch with very few calories. Finally, broil until the cheeses just begin to melt and serve it on one of those fresh deli toasted wheat buns or a toasted garlic roll. Garnish the burger with one or two slices of garlic pickles or jewish pickles. Their crunchy like chips but a lot healthier!

THAI INSPIRED TURKEY BURGERS (LOW FAT)

• Add the mixture to the turkey and also put in the egg white.
• Mix the turkey and the other ingredients together by hand until they are well combined.
• Put into the fridge to chill for about 30 minutes for them to firm up a bit.
• Take out of the fridge and shape into four equal sized burger patties.
• Then either fry them off in a pan as you would normally do or do as I do and brush them very lightly with a bit of extra virgin olive oil and cook them on a Foreman type grill. It takes about 8 minutes or so for them to be fully cooked.
• Serve.
