Skinny Minnie Burgers

Okay so we all love a good burger and hate the fatty feeling after?! Well no more I have a yummy recipe for you. Low cals and fat! So good you could have two and not be hurting any scales.

Perfect Summer Burgers
Makes 6

1 slightly beaten egg white
2 tablespoon water (I used crushed ice - helps the moisture)
1/4 cup bread crumbs (use day old whole wheat bread crumbs and toast in oven at 350 and until starting to turn brown)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion (use food storage onions and add water - makes no mess and no cutting!)
1/4 cup shredded carrot
1/4 cup chopped red pepper (Veggies add good nutrients, juiciness and is SNEAKY)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon (total) your favorite seasonings - I used garlic powder, crushed red pepper, parsley flakes, and kickin chicken.
2 Tablespoons of grated Parmesan
1 pound lean ground beef (I used extra lean turkey, yum-o!)

6 whole grain buns (make sure the first or second ingredient says whole grain or wheat)
lettuce, tomato slices, onion, pickles - whatever that floats your boat. Just don't add extra cheese (that is fat people! The Parmesan adds a nice burst of flavor with less fat than cheddar) Low cal dressings are ketchup, mustard and bbq sauce. Adding mayo will boost the fat high! If you need it try something else like low cal ranch.

Directions:
Combine and make into patties. Grill on OILED rack (will stick so coat well) for 7 minutes then turn and grill for 8 to 11 more minutes until no pink. Serve on buns or lettuce.

Nutrition facts:
232 calories, 18 g protein, 19 carbs, 9 g fat (3 g saturated), 3 g fiber - that is for the beef. Turkey would be even LOWER!

**I halved this recipe and it worked - but I wish I didn't because I wanted leftovers!

Enjoy!
