How to Make Italian Turkey Burgers Reduced Fat

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground turkey breast.
  2. Roughly chop 1/2 cup red onion, 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained), and 1/2 red bell pepper. Add to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
  3. Transfer the chopped vegetables to the bowl with the ground turkey.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1 egg white to the bowl.
  5. Gently mix with your hands until all ingredients are evenly combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Shape the mixture into four equal-sized patties.
  7. Refrigerate the patties for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  8. Heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the burgers for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Alternatively, grill the burgers for about 10 minutes total, flipping halfway through.
  9. Serve on your favorite buns (or bunless!) with a fresh salad. Ciabatta rolls add an authentic Italian touch!
  10. Enjoy your healthy and delicious Italian Turkey Burgers!
