Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground beef (93% lean)
- 0.5 cup Old-fashioned oats
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 large Egg white
- 4 buns Whole-grain burger buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves

Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, oats, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and egg white.
Step 2
Mix the ingredients using your hands until well combined, taking care not to over-mix which can make the burgers tough.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 4 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch thick.
Step 4
Preheat a grill or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the burgers are no longer pink in the center.
Step 6
While the burgers are cooking, prepare the whole-grain buns by lightly toasting them on the grill or in the oven.
Step 7
Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on the bottom half of each bun, top with a lettuce leaf and tomato slice, then cover with the top half of the bun.
Step 8
Serve immediately for a delicious, heart-healthy meal.
