Tasty Low-fat Minced Turkey Oven-baked Burgers
6 steps
Prep:10minCook:35min
My go-to mini tasty schnitzels, especially when I am watching my weight.
This is a healthier yet still very tasty version! Great if you need a change from "boring" chicken and perfect for food meal prep. It stays fresh for 4-5 days in the fridge and I really enjoy it cold as well!
Traditionally, these are usually made from pork and/or beef mince, fried in a lot of fat in the Balkan area and taste really good, so this is a healthier take on them. I usually use turkey breast, but if that's too lean for you you can go with turkey thighs, or, if you're not restraining from fat - you can go with the pork-beef mince (suggestion: around 40 pork: 60 beef ratio)
Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, quinoa... And some fresh salad!
