Ingredients:
14 oz. 95-97% lean ground turkey
½ tsp salt, divided
¼ tsp ground black pepper
¼ cup minced scallions
2 wedges Swiss or cheddar spreadable cheese wedges
½ cup thinly sliced tomatoes
2 large lettuce leaves
2 cups cauliflower rice
4 tbsp reduced-fat parmesan cheese
Directions:
Thoroughly combine the ground turkey with half of the salt and the black pepper and minced scallions.
Shape the ground turkey mix into 2, (7-ounce) flattened patties.
Place the patties onto a parchment lined sheet pan and cook in an oven at 425°F for 23 minutes (alternately air-fry them at 400°F for 18 minutes).
Meanwhile, for the cauliflower chips, cook the cauliflower rice in a microwave in an open container on full power for 5 minutes.
Place the cooked cauliflower into a clean kitchen towel, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Combine the cauliflower with the reduced-fat Parmesan cheese and remaining salt.
Using the cauliflower mixture, make 12 thin, 1½ -inch wide circles (i.e., cauliflower chips) on a parchment lined sheet pan and bake in an oven at 350°F for 18 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
To serve, spread a wedge of spreadable cheese onto each turkey patty and place the patty into a large lettuce leaf. Top each burger with half of the tomato slices and serve with half of the cauliflower chips per portion.
