Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 egg white, lightly beaten
1/3 cup cheddar cheese, diced
12 oz lean ground turkey
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
2/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2/3 cup salsa (plus more for topping)
1 tbsp canola oil
1 cup green-leaf lettuce (about 4 large leaves)
4 English muffins, split and toasted

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine egg white, cheese, turkey, salt, kidney beans, breadcrumbs, onion, cilantro, and salsa and mix thoroughly. Divide the mixture and form into 4 patties. Tuck any pieces of cheese into the burgers with your fingertip to prevent scorching. Heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add burgers and cook 6 to 7 minutes per side or until cooked through. Serve on English muffins, accompanied by lettuce and extra salsa (to use as a topping).
