Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean ground turkey
- 50 grams Whole grain oats
- 1 piece Egg white
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 8 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 medium Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, whole grain oats, egg white, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 2
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the pan. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature of the patties reaches 165°F (75°C), ensuring they are cooked through.
Step 5
While the patties are cooking, wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel.
Step 6
Slice the tomato and avocados into thin slices.
Step 7
Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the pan and let them rest for a minute.
Step 8
To assemble the lettuce wrap burger, place two lettuce leaves on a plate to form a 'bun'.
Step 9
Add one turkey patty on top of the lettuce leaves, followed by a few slices of tomato and avocado.
Step 10
Drizzle with a little Dijon mustard to add flavor.
Step 11
Top with two more lettuce leaves to complete the wrap.
Step 12
Repeat the process for the remaining patties.
Step 13
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy lettuce wrap burger!
