Serves: 6 burgers

The Better Burger is a healthy burger alternative to ground beef burgers by substituting turkey meat in place of beef and adding fresh ingredients to cut down on processed foods. Ingredients

• ¼ cup Breadcrumbs
• 10 fresh Basil leaves, chopped
• 2 tbsp chopped yellow onion
• 2 tbsp chopped dried or fresh parsley
• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 pound extra-lean ground turkey breast
• 1 egg white
• Pinch of garlic powder
• Coarse ground black pepper
• 4 Ezekiel buns
• 1 bag (4 oz) pre-washed arugula
• 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
• ¼ cup pasta sauce

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine breadcrumbs, basil, onion, parsley, and cheese. Mix with a fork.
2. Add turkey and egg white. Use your hands to mix well.
3. Form into four ½”-thick patties. Sprinkle with the garlic power and pepper (to taste).
4. Grill over medium heat for 15-18 minutes, turning once halfway through.
5. While burgers are cooking, add the buns to the grill until lightly toasted. In a small microwaveable bowl, microwave the pasta sauce for 1 minute.
6. Slide each burger onto a bun. Top with some arugula, a tomato slice, and 1 tbsp of the pasta sauce.
