Tried this recipe from Tosca's cook book. It was delicious. In other news made it through Easter keeping exercise in tack and healthy eating somewhat in tack. Weekends are sure tough! Did a great toning workout at today's 5:30 class, I sweat, felt the burn and in the end felt great. I was actually exhausted before I went almost ready not to go.. but I went and afterwards I was feeling awesome ... it's true that exercise gives you more energy!
Low-fat Turkey Burgers (I used lean ground chicken)
Ingredients:
1 cup/240ml of high-protein cereal flakes (I used large flake oatmeal)
½ cup/120ml skim milk
3 tsp/15 ml instant low-sodium chicken bouillon
3 Tbsp/45 ml minced onion
2 egg whites
1 lb/454 g lean ground turkey
Preparation:
1) Combine first five ingredients in a large bowl. Let the milk soak into the cereal flakes for 5 minutes. Add lean ground turkey. Mix well with clean bare hands. Shape into patties and grill.
2) Serve hot with lightly toasted Ezekiel buns or whole-grain buns. Avoid high-fat condiments such as mayonnaise. But definitely add mustard, low-sodium, low-sugar ketchup, lettuce and slices of fresh tomato. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteDid you stick to the mustard only condiment? Did you find low sodium, sugar ketup?
I know I just to buy from the Organic Garage in Oakville. I am sure we will see at Whole Foods on the 28th.
.. I did put ketchup on it. However in the past I would have used mayo so I was proud of myself for at least keeping that deadly topping off. Remind me when we go on wednesday .. I'm almost out of ketchup anyways so the low sodium/sugar ketchup would totally be something I'd buy.
