Balanced Budget Burger Ingredients

Preparation

1. In a large bowl, combine the tuna, egg whites and panko. Form 2 burger patties.
2. Mix together cottage cheese and roasted garlic. Set aside.
3. In a medium-high heat sauté pan, place the tuna burger patties into the pan and sauté for 3 minutes per side.
4. Place lettuce leaf on a halved Kaiser roll and top with seared tuna burger.
5. Place 1 tbsp of the cottage cheese mixture on top followed by the tomato and onion slices and chicken bacon. Place the remaining Kaiser half on top.

Tip:

• For presentation, skewer a dill pickle to top of bun.
• You can replace regular bread crumbs for panko flakes (Japanese-style bread crumbs)

Make it a combo: Serve with crinkle-cut veggie sticks for a healthy side dish along with an Apple Soda Pop (see recipe below).
