Homemade Turkey Burgers with Salad

Dress the salad just before serving; for the other days, store the lettuce and tomato undressed.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground turkey breast (99% lean)
• 1/2 medium onion
• 1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 large egg
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 romaine heart
• 3 medium tomatoes
• 1 tbsp plus 2 tsp olive oil
• 4 slices 100% whole-wheat bread
• 4 tsp mustard

Directions

1. Mix the turkey with the grated onion, chopped garlic, oats, egg, and salt.
2. Shape into 4 patties. Freeze any raw patties you won’t eat within 2 days, separated with parchment paper; thaw them in the refrigerator the night before you cook them.
3. Cook the ones you’ll eat in a nonstick skillet or grill pan with a little of the oil, about 5 minutes per side over medium heat, until cooked through, with no pink inside (165°F).
4. Serve each burger with lettuce and tomato dressed with the rest of the oil and the mustard, and a slice of toast.
