Servings – 2 – 4

This recipe is fine for all stages of the program.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. extra lean ground chicken or turkey
• 2 garlic cloves, very finely minced
• 2 – 4  tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
• 2 shallots, very finely minced
• 1 tsp. very finely minced red chili (more or less, however hot you like it)
• pinch salt
• pinch pepper
• 2 Tbsp. canola oil

Directions:

1. Thoroughly mix the chicken with the garlic, cilantro, shallots, red chili, salt, and pepper.
2. Form the mixture into 4 burgers, each about ¾ inch thick.
3. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
4. Rub each burger on both sides with a bit of the canola oil and grill for about 7-8 minutes on each side or fry in a pan sprayed with a little cooking spray if you prefer rather than rubbing with the oil and grilling.

Serve on a low carb bun with a sauce made with a combination of low fat mayo, a dash of hot sauce and a little powdered peanut butter.
