Healthy Hamburgers
-Wheat buns (see Wheat Bread Recipe)
-Lettuce
-Tomato
-Lowfat Mayo (I use Avocado)
-Onion
-Turkey Bacon
-Avocado
-Lowfat Cheese
-Olive Oil (opt if you have a grill)
-Lean Hamburger
-Worcestershire Sauce
-Minced Garlic
-1 Egg
Mix hamburger, worcestershire sauce, garlic and egg together until just blended. Form little meat patties with hamburger that are slightly curved up at the edges like a shallow bowl. This will prevent it from getting too fat in the middle. You can either freeze it now (use wax paper in between each patty) for hamburgers later or you can put enough olive oil on the frying pan to cover the bottom. Heat the oil and then place the burgers on the oil. Fry for about 3-5 minutes and then flip until the hamburger is browned. Or, it's even better if you happen to have a grill and it's nice where you live.
Add whatever hamburger fixin's make you happy. Delish!
