Veal Or Turkey Burgers Wonion 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.

THAI INSPIRED TURKEY BURGERS (LOW FAT)

Steps:

• Put the lemongrass, garlic, ginger, green onions, cilantro, chili flakes and lime zest into a food processor or chopper along with the water and blitz them until they are finely chopped and combined.
• 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.

KITTENCAL'S MOIST TURKEY BURGERS FOR THE GRILL (LOW FAT)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the ground turkey with all the ingredients; mix well to combine (if you find the mixture is too moist you can add in a small amount more of bread crumbs).
• Shape into patties, then place the patties on a plate and cover with plastic wrap; chill for 4-24 hours to blend flavors (24 hours is even better!).
• Place on the barbecue and grill until done (about 12-15 minutes) if made on a outdoor grill.
• DELICIOUS!
