Italian Turkey Burgers (Reduced Fat)
I have been playing around lately with trying to make different kinds of reduced fat burgers to go with the low fat eating plan I am on. This is my latest attempt. I used ground turkey breast so that I didn't feel that bad about having a little bit of fat from the sundried tomatoes but at least it is 'good' fats. The cooking time includes the one hour chilling time.

- Roughly chop the onion and put it into a food processor or mini chopper along with the basil, red peppers and sun dried tomatoes.
- Blitz the ingredients until the onions and everything else is finely chopped.
- Empty the contents of the food processor into the bowl with the ground turkey.
- Add the garlic powder and the egg white.
- Mix with your hands until everything is well combined.
- Form four equal sized burgers and place on a plate and put into the fridge for an hour to firm up.
- Take the burgers out of the fridge and either pan fry in a little bit of extra virgin olive oily for about 5 minutes on each side until cooked through or do on a Foreman type grill for about 10 minutes total.
- Serve on buns of simply bunless with a salad is watching the calories. If serving with bread it is fun to complete the Italian feel with ciabatta rolls.
