Here's how:
Juicy burgers without worry
Pan-brown or barbecue these beef or turkey burgers; both methods produce delicious results. To barbecue, place patties on a lightly greased grill over hot coals or high heat on a gas barbecue (you can hold your hand at grill level only 2 to 3 seconds); close lid on gas grill. They cook in about the same amount of time as in a frying pan. Embellish burgers as desired, adding to taste Dijon mustard, Mayonnaise (low-fat, if desired), Del Monte Catsup, pickles, lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers.
Ingredients:
1 pound ground lean (7% fat) beef
2 large egg whites
1/2 cup minced onion
1/4 cup fine dried bread crumbs
1 clove garlic, minced
About 1/2 teaspoon salt
About 1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
Preparation and Cook time: About 15 minutes
Serves: 4
1. Mix beef with egg whites, onion, bread crumbs, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Form mixture into 4 equal patties about 1/2 inch thick.
