These burgers are high in protein, low in fat, and lick-your-lips delicious! Trading in breadcrumbs for quinoa flakes cleans up this lean approach to your everyday burger.

Ingredients

• 1 lb organic lean ground turkey
• 1/2 cup red onion, chopped
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup quinoa flakes or almond flour
• 2 tablespoon fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoon fresh oregano
• 2 tablespoon fresh basil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 3/4 teaspoon herbamare
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, lightly beat egg.
2. Add all ingredients except the turkey and mix well with your hands, or a spoon until the quinoa flakes or almond flour are coated.
3. Add turkey and mash with your hands until combined. Form into 5-6 patties and throw them on the outdoor grill, indoor grill, or in the oven at 350F for 45 minutes. If you have a meat thermometer, you want to reach an internal temperature of 165F.
