Low Fat Burger Recipes

Ingredients:

1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth -fat skimmed off
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 lb well-trimmed top round -cut in large chunks
1/4 lb ground turkey
1/4 cup plain dried bread crumbs
1/4 cup prepared chili sauce, divided
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup shredded swiss cheese
4 hamburger rolls, split
1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
4 thick slices tomato

Instructions:

1. In small saucepan, combine broth, onion and garlic. Bring to a simmer
over medium heat and cook about 5 minutes, until the onion is very soft and
all the liquid is absorbed. Set aside to cool.

2. Meanwhile, preheat broiler. In a food processor, chop the beef until
coarsely ground. In medium bowl, combine the ground beef, turkey, bread
crumbs, 2 tablespoons of the chili sauce and the pepper and reserved onion
mixture. Blend thoroughly and form into 4 patties. Broil the burgers 3 to 4
inches from heat, turning once, for 8 minutes, or until cooked through.
Sprinkle Swiss cheese on top; broil an additional 30 seconds or until
cheese is melted.

3. Broil the hamburger buns for 30 seconds to toast lightly. Place the buns
on 4 plates and top with lettuce, tomato and a burger. Top the burgers
with the remaining 2 tablespoons chili sauce and serve.

Note: Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Gouda and blue cheese can all be substituted
for Swiss cheese.
