Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground turkey
- 100 grams Shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 2 large Egg whites
- 50 grams Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg whites, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well using your hands or a large spoon until everything is combined and holds together.
Step 2
Divide the turkey mixture into 8 equal portions. Take one portion and flatten it into a small patty. Add a tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese on top, then fold the patty in half over the cheese, sealing the edges. Repeat with the remaining portions and cheese.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Place the patties in the skillet without crowding them. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
Step 5
Cook the patties for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through. Ensure they reach an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F) to be safe for consumption.
Step 6
Once done, remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest on a paper towel-lined plate for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve warm with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete low-fat meal.
