Turkey Burgers Yum

You can use Ground Beef but since that has more fat then Turkey it makes more sense to make your burgers out of Turkey while on this diet.

Servings

Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground Turkey
• 1 Egg
• 1/2 Onion
• 2 Cloves Garlic
• 1 tsp Ground Coriander
• 1/2 tsp Celery Salt
• 1 tsp Chili Powder
• 1/2 tsp Cumin
• 1 Tbl Cilantro Fresh

Course Main Cuisine PSMF Servings Ingredients 1 lb Ground Turkey 1 Egg 1/2 Onion 2 Cloves Garlic 1 tsp Ground Coriander 1/2 tsp Celery Salt 1 tsp Chili Powder 1/2 tsp Cumin 1 Tbl Cilantro Fresh

Instructions

1. Place the egg, 1/2 onion, 2 cloves of garlic, coriander, celery salt, chili powder, cumin, and cilantro in a food processor and blend into a paste.
2. Pour that paste into a bowl with the ground Turkey and mix well by hand.
3. Form into 3-4 oz burger patties
4. Heat a large, non-stick skillet for medium-high heat (I like to use the griddle side of a cast iron grill pan) Spray a liberal amount of “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” spray and place the patty on the griddle. While the burger is cooking (about 5 minutes) season the top with Salt and Pepper and spray the top of the patty with another liberal dose of “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” then flip the burger to cook the other side. Let this side cook for about 5 minutes too You will end up with a nice charred crust on both sides of the burger with a very juicy center

Serve with BBQ Sauce (see recipe on the site).

Turkey Burgers

1 pound ground turkey
1 egg
1/2 onion
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro

Place the ground turkey in a bowl. Add a beaten egg,

Place the 1/2 onion, 2 cloves of garlic, coriander, celery salt, chili powder, cumin, and cilantro in a food processor and blend into a paste. Using your hands, work this mixture into the Turkey and egg until all ingredients are evenly blended. Form mixture into 4-6 patties.
Heat a large, non-stick skillet for medium-high heat (I like to use the griddle side of a cast iron grill pan)
Spray a liberal amount of “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” spray  and place the patty on the griddle. While the burger is cooking season the top with Slat and Pepper and spray the top of the patty with another liberal dose of “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” then flip the burger to cook the other side.

You will end up with a nice charred crust on both sides of the burger with a very juicy center

Serve with BBQ Sauce (see recipe on the site).  Wrap in Lettuce with a tomato slice.

I HATE the taste of diet soda.  Just can’t choke down that aftertaste.  This soda on the other hand works well.

16 oz of Selzer Water
1 Tbl Lime Juice
2 Artifical Sugar Packets (Natra Sweet, Equal, etc…)

I’ve also used a few drops of a flavor extract like Cherry, Orange, RootBeer, etc… to mae other types of “sodas.  Like the Sparkling Lime-aide best though.

For the Steak and Potato lover

5 oz of Chuck Steak
6 oz Can of Mushrooms
1 t Wocestershire Sauce
1 Beef Bouillion Cube

Pan sear the Steak to almost desired doneness.  Add the Mushrooms (with their juice), Wocestershire and the Bouillion cube.

1 Med Head of Cauliflower
1/2 t garlic (chopped)
1/3 C Chicken Broth
1/8 t ground Black Pepper
Salt (to taste)
Molly McButter (to taste)

Stock pot of water to boil the cleaned and cut califlower (chopped small).  Boil about 10 min. Drain, pat dry* but do not let cool.
Puree the cauliflower in the food processor with the hot chicken broth, pepper, salt, garlic and Molly McButter.

Serve together with some more Molly McButter sprinked on the meat and the juice and mushrooms over the “mock mashed potatoes”.  I have heard (but not tried it yet) that using carrots in place of the Califlower also works well.

Using Carrots I think I might mix in some Cinnamon and serve them with a Turkey breast.  Kinda like a Thanksgiving dinner.  The Carrots would be sweet like a sweet potato.  I’ll try it in the next week or so and either post the resulting recipe or edit this one to say don’t do it.

* You really want to make sure it’s dry else the “mock” mashed potatoes will be a bit runny.  I think putting them in the microwave for a little bit to help burn off the water might even be a good solution after draining and patting dry.

For lunch I have been having either left overs from the night before or I’ll have a Tuna Salad (the following recipe makes almost enough for three meals)

2 small cans of Tuna
Salt, Pepper and Garlic Salt
2 Stalks of Celery
2 Green Onions
2 Boiled Eggs
Cider Vinegar
Dijon Mustard

Drain the tuna well and place in a food preocessor.  Pulse to break it up
Add Celery, Onion and Eggs to the food processor and pulse to chop/blend it into the Tuna
Add Mustard (about 2 Tbl) and Vinegar to taste
Serve over a mixed salad (about 2 oz) and 1 think slice of Tomato (diced)
Drizzle with Vinegar or a Tbl of a Walden Farms Salad Dressing (I like the blue cheese)

I have also used canned Carb meat in place of the Tuna.  Makes for a nice light salad topper

A typical Breakfast for me has been the following.

1/4 C Egg Beaters
1 oz of Deli Roast Turkey (thin sliced and diced)
3 oz of Summer Squash (diced)
Country Scrambed with Salt, Pepper and some Yucatan Sunshine
Served with two thick slices of Tomato (about 3 oz) on the side

This has been plenty and taste very good.  On this particular diet I’m limited to just four whole eggs a week so I don’t want to waste one of them on scrambled eggs.  The Egg Beaters work great and when mixed with the Squash and Turkey make for a filling breakfast.

For a bit more “crunch” use Turkey Bacon instead of Deli Turkey

This recipe can serve two purposes.  1st as a “normal” Korean Bul-go-gi and also as a beef jerky

Korean Bul-go-gi

1 Lb Flank Steak
1/2 C Soy Sauce
1/2 C Water
1/4 White vinegar
2 packages Artificial Sweetener (NatraTaste)
2 Cloves Garlic (chopped)
1/2 bunch Green Onions Chopped
Black pepper to taste

Trim and cut beef into strips
Mix Soy sauce, water, vinegar, sweetener, garlic, pepper and onions
Place Steak and sauce in a 1 gallon freezer bag and allow to marinade overnight

Cut a large Onion into half rings.  Use the “flattop” side of a large grill pan and bring it up to high heat.  Once the pan is heated  throw on the onions and once they start to carmelize add the strips of beef.  Toss together until the meat is just turns from pink to brown.  Remove from heat and serve with Leaf lettuce

adding chopped Cabbage to roll up in the lettuce leaf with the beef will give it some added crunch and texture.  I would also tell you to have the Butcher slice this thin (maybe a little thicker then typical Deli Roast Beef slices)

This marinade is also really good when used to season beef to make your own Homemade Beef Jerky.
Make sure the meat is trimmed of excess fat and pat off the excess moisture before drying
I use a food Dehydrator but you could use an oven heated to 200 degrees for 6-8 hours.  Turn the meat a few times to ensure desired level of dryness

Once dried allow the beef to cool then cut into strips of desired thickness.

As I proceed with this diet I’ll be updating this site with Recipes that I find/make/modify that are both tasty and “legal” based on the requirements outlined by this particular Doctor supervised PSMF (Protein Sparing Modified Fast) diet that I am following.

Here was the first “recipe” that I made and it was quite good.  This recipe made enough for me to meet my meal requirement, fill;ed me up and my wife was happy to also have a full bowl.

Green Onion Broth
3 C Water
6 Green Onions
1 t Worcestershire Sause
1/4 t Butter Flavor Extract
1/4 t Salt

Simmer 15 min.
Strain and discard green onions

1/2 lb Cod
1 can (6.5 oz) Clams
1 can (6.5 oz) oysters
1/2 t butter extract
1/4 t lemon extract
1/8 t Tabasco (I used Yucatan Sunshine instead)
1 t. Parsley Flakes
1/2 t Onion Powder
1/2 t Salt
1/4 t Pepper
1/4 t Seafood Seasoning

Combine in Saucepan
Simmer 20 min

Very tasty and filling.

Another good modification to this is to replace the 1/2 lb of Fish with 1 lb of Raw Shrimp
