They're a cross between burgers and sloppy joes, but healthier than either and very tasty, here we go:
Ingredients:
1Kg Extra lean ground beef
.5Kg Extra lean ground turkey
1 bottle bullseye bbq sauce of your choice
1 med. yellow onion, diced
about 150--200g crushed bread crumbs
2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp ground pepper
processed cheese
hamburger buns
Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine ingredients:
1Kg Extra lean ground beef
.5Kg Extra lean ground turkey
1 bottle bullseye bbq sauce of your choice
1 med. yellow onion, diced
about 150--200g crushed bread crumbs
2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp ground pepper
Place a large serrated grill pan over high heat and grease with olive oil
Hand mix all ingredients, insure an even heterogeneous mixture
Shape into 1 and 1/2 inch thick hamburger patties, barely larger in diameter than the buns they will be served on (they have very low fat content and thus will not shrink much)
Save remaining hamburger mix in a tupperware container, and save in freezer
Place patties on frying pan, flip when gilled sufficiently on one side, slightly reduce temperature and place processed cheese slices on top of patties.
When fully cooked and charred sufficiently, place on toasted hamburger buns and enjoy.
Note:
Be careful when flipping and handling, as hamburgers may crumble, but they hold together very well once done, and the cheese is melted (acts almost as a glue) they are much less messy than "sloppy joes"
Do not use on a grill! To get them coherent enough for grill use, reduce amount of sauce and bread crumbs added, and substitute extra lean ground beef for regular ground beef.
This recipe makes a lot! But its great for freezing, then thawing for use on a later date.
Fat content is very low in this meal, under 10g per burger if cheese is used, much lower if cheese is not used.
