Ingredients

For the Burgers

  • 1 Bell Pepper (150g)
  • 1/2 Red Onion (150g)
  • 1 1/2 cup Cauliflour rice, steamed (200g)
  • 1 cup Arugula (30g)
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley (15g)
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro Leaves (15g)
  • 4 Frozen Garlic Cubes (or minced cloves)
  • 2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 2 tsp Oregano
  • 1 tsp Dried Mustard
  • 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1 1/2 lb Lean 93/7 Ground Turkey (665g)

For the Slaw:

  • 1 lb Bag of Coleslaw (453g)
  • 1/2 cup Cilanto, chopped (30g)
  • 1/2 cup Parsley, chopped (30g)
  • 1/2 cup Chives, minced (25g)
  • 1/4 cup Basil, chopped (15g)
  • 3/4 cup Green Goddess Dressing (200g) Recipe here
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place all burger ingredients except for ground turkey in the food processor and pulse until it all comes together like a salsa. Transfer to a large bowl and combine with ground turkey.
  • Heat a large cast iron or other heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat with a spritz of avocado oil. Using a large 3-4 oz cookie scoop, and oiled hands, (or a small ziplock bag on each hand because it’s sticky!), scoop a (105 g) ball into your hands and flatten nice and thin. Throw it down in the hot pan and leave it undisturbed, to get it nice and browned. I like to hit with a little extra kosher salt before flipping.
  • Cook for a couple minutes per side or until nice and browned and cooked through. Cook in batches so you don’t crowd the pan. My massive cast iron from Amazon comes in handy for this recipe.
  • Toss together all slaw ingredients. You'll find the Green Goddess Dressing recipe HERE. Serve burgers over slaw with any additional toppings you love! I love avocado and pickled onions. Some cotija or feta cheese would be yummy. Make sure to drizzle with more Green Goddess Dressing!

Notes

NOTE: I used the Fulton Farms organic ground turkey from Costco which is labeled at just 4.5 fat/4oz. By my calculations below, you can estimate that you’re getting almost exactly that 4 oz portion in this 172 gram finished product. SO, for example, if you use a ground turkey or beef with 8 fat per 4 oz serving, you can estimate that you’re getting 8 fat in this 172 gram (two burger) portion. Protein might go down by 1 or 2 but nothing to worry about.
