Recipe from “George Stella’s Still Livin’ Low Carb” Cookbook

Ingredients

• Cooking oil spray
• 2 1/2 pounds fresh ground turkey
• 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper
• 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
• 1 tablespoon no-sugar-added ketchup
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Pinch of cayenne pepper
• Your favorite burger fixings

Preparation

Step 1

1 Spray a large sauté pan with cooking oil and set aside.
(I use an indoor nonstick electric pancake griddle and make them all at once! And make them "slider" size for fun--the sliders are easy to make on the griddle too!)

2 Place all of the ingredients, except the extra fixings, into a bowl and mix well with your hands. (You may want to wear plastic gloves, since the chili powder may turn your hands red.)

3 Form the meat mixture into 10 patties.

4 Cook the turkey burgers in the sauté pan over medium-high heat for 6 to 7 minutes on each side, until completely cooked throughout. (Poultry MUST be fully cooked. No medium-rare for these patties!)

5 Serve as a meal with the traditional burger toppings or use your own low carb favorites!

HELPFUL HINTS
These can also be grilled; just make sure that the grill is preheated well and that you do not try to flip the burgers until they are well-marked or they stick to the grates.
