Mushroom Stuffed Turkey Burger - PCOS-Friendly Recipe
Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp fennel seed
- 8 oz ground turkey
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup pieces mushrooms
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 sprig parsley
Instructions
- Preheat broiler (or oven to broil). Thaw meat if necessary. Chop onions and mushrooms, mince garlic cloves, and mix together in a bowl.
- Add ground turkey to bowl, using your hand or spoon and mix ingredients. Add fennel seeds last (optional depending on your taste; cayenne pepper works well for a spicier spice).
- Take half the mixed ingredients and shape into burger patties; do the same with the other half. Then place the patties on an oven pan lined with aluminum foil (for easy clean up).
- Place pan into oven and broil for 10-13 minutes, then turn over and broil another 10 minutes.
- After burgers are cooked, take them out of the broiler and allow some time to cool; 2-3 minutes (optional, add a slice of cheese while hot so it melts).
- Sprinkle some fresh or ground parsley and serve.
