In the city of Los Angeles, it’s rare to find someone with enough time to make delicious and healthy meals after work. It doesn’t have to be as hard as some think though. It starts with a little trip to Trader Joe’s, and it ends with a delicious turkey burger.
All you need are some wheat buns, some ground turkey patties, some turkey bacon, and some rich brie. Pick any kind of brie you enjoy. What kind of a side do you want? That’s a toughy. Trader Joe’s has great frozen mixed vegetables, and beans with no lard that could both make great side dishes to this healthy burger.
Start with a few drops of oil in the bottom of a pan. Heat it and add the turkey bacon. Allow the turkey bacon to crisp before removing it. Don’t clean the pan. Sprinkle some garlic salt on a turkey patty and place it in the hot pan. It’ll soak up some of the flavors of the turkey bacon. Take a few slices of your brie and add place the fully cooked turkey burger on top to melt the cheese. Put the bacon on top of that, and you have a delicious, healthy dinner.
Here’s a little tip. You should only flip the patty once. Cook the patty until it browns on one side, and don’t move it until then. Flip it over and let it brown on the other side until it’s cooked all the way through (do a quick search on your favorite search engine for the FDA recommendations on internal temperature for turkey meat).
