BBQ TURKEY BURGER
Let me guess…You’re looking at this delicious
burger and asking yourself “how can a burger be healthy?” Let me tell
you how, this burger is an excellent source of lean protein as compared to high
fat beef patties which takes a longer time to digest. Lean protein keeps u full for a long
period as it curbs appetite. It contains amino acids which are building blocks
for muscle. This
famous turkey burger is a favourite weight loss food of Jillian
Michaels, Biggest Loser trainer and Health magazine cover model
Ingredients

- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika

- 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
- 4 (1.6-oz) sesame seed buns, toasted
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, gently mix together turkey, garlic, paprika, and cumin.
- Form turkey into 4 (4-inch) patties; season with salt and pepper.
