How to Make Skinny Parmesan Burgers

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean or higher), 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1 clove garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking.
  3. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  4. Serve immediately on toasted hamburger buns with your favorite condiments. Suggested toppings include lettuce, tomato, onion, and a light spread of your favorite low-fat mayonnaise or mustard.
