Jalapeno Cilantro Burgers (serves 4)
This delicious burger can be made as a patty, mini meatloaf, meatballs or sliders! They reheat well, making them perfect for meal prep. This recipe supplies 1 serving of protein AND 1 serving carbs, so it fits any of my meal plans where a meal contains 1 serving of carbs (15 g).
Ingredients:
1 pound (16 oz) 99% lean ground turkey/chicken
2 egg whites
1 C oats or cooked quinoa OR oat bran (I love using oat bran)
½ jalapeno pepper, minced
⅔ C tomatillo, chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1/4 C white onion, finely chopped
1-2 cloves garlic
¼ C fresh cilantro, chopped
¼ C Salsa
juice of 1 lime
1 Tsp lime zest
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Place all ingredients in a big bowl and mix well. Form into 4 turkey patties, place on foiled lined cookie sheet. If you are making loaves, spray mini loaf pans and add turkey mixture. Bake in the oven at 350 until fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165 degrees). Wrap in large cabbage or lettuce leaves, garnish with cilantro and enjoy!
