Turkey Lettuce Burger with Cauliflower Chips

Yield: 2 servings

Per Serving: 1 Leaner, 1 Healthy Fat, 3 Green, 3 Condiments

Total Time: 45 minutes

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 14 oz. 95-97% lean ground turkey

• ½ tsp salt, divided

• ¼ tsp ground black pepper

• ¼ cup minced scallions

• 2 wedges Swiss or cheddar spreadable cheese wedges

• ½ cup thinly sliced tomatoes

• 2 large lettuce leaves

• 2 cups cauliflower rice

• 4 tbsp reduced-fat parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Thoroughly combine the ground turkey with half of the salt and the black pepper and minced scallions.

2. Shape the ground turkey mix into 2, (7-ounce) flattened patties.

3. Place the patties onto a parchment lined sheet pan and cook in an oven at 425°F for 23 minutes (alternately air-fry them at 400°F for 18 minutes).

4. Meanwhile, for the cauliflower chips, cook the cauliflower rice in a microwave in an open container on full power for 5 minutes.

5. Place the cooked cauliflower into a clean kitchen towel, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

6. Combine the cauliflower with the reduced-fat Parmesan cheese and remaining salt.

7. Using the cauliflower mixture, make 12 thin, 1½ -inch wide circles (i.e., cauliflower chips) on a parchment lined sheet pan and bake in an oven at 350°F for 18 to 20 minutes until golden brown.

8. To serve, spread a wedge of spreadable cheese onto each turkey patty and place the patty into a large lettuce leaf. Top each burger with half of the tomato slices and serve with half of the cauliflower chips per portion.
