Make This Recipe
Ingredients
1 pound lean turkey
2 garlic cloves, minced
½ red onion, diced
1 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
¼ cup of panko breadcrumbs
1 tsp crushed chili flakes
1/2 teaspoon Paprika
1 pinch salt
Optional:
8 whole-grain buns, toasted
Alfalfa sprouts
Whole grain mustard
Provolone cheese
Preparation
- Finely dice the garlic, red onion and chili flakes (a food processor works well if you own one).
- In a bowl mix all the burger ingredients, using your hands, to form a large ball which has all the ingredients evenly distributed.
- Split the mixture into 8 smaller round balls and use your hand to flatten into burger shapes.
- Create a hole in the center of the burger patty by pressing the egg into the center.
- Heat oil in a large, non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Add the burgers to the oil, and cook for 5 minutes on one side, until browned.
- Turn using a spatula and crack an Eggland’s Best egg into each center hole. Then, top with the provolone cheese.
- Cover the burger so the EB egg and cheese cook evenly, cooking for 5 more minutes on the other side – until browned and the Eggland’s Best egg has cooked through.
- Once cooked, remove from the heat and serve in a bun with your favorite toppings, such as whole grain mustard and alfalfa sprouts.
