Dressed to the Nines Turkey Patties, 23 grams protein, 203 calories

IMG_3379This is the ultimate gluten-free flourless turkey burger recipe that will make you want to party! Easy to prepare in advance, refrigerate the mixture and cook later in time for dinner. You may also freeze the leftover patties cooked or raw.  You might be tempted to skip the oil in the mixture, however, it is needed to hold the form and allow the onions to ‘fry’ inside the patty. Olive oil is an important and necessary fat for after gastric bypass and weight loss surgery.

  • 1 Lb. Turkey, Lean Ground
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • ½ ounce pepper jack cheese

Directions: Combine burger ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix until everything is combined. Form six evenly-sized patties.  Reserve five patties for another meal (freeze raw or refrigerate). Place a single patty into a lightly oiled frying pan.  Cook on medium for five minutes.
