These burgers are my way of enjoying the flavors of Buffalo chicken wings while avoiding some of the fat and calories. Ingredients:
slaw: |
1/4 cup thinly sliced celery |
1/4 cup shredded peeled apple |
2 tablespoons fat-free blue cheese salad dressing |
1 teaspoon finely chopped walnuts |
sauce: |
3 tablespoons louisiana-style hot sauce |
2 teaspoons ketchup |
2 teaspoons reduced-fat butter, melted |
burgers: |
2 tablespoons chopped sweet red pepper |
2 tablespoons plus 4 teaspoons thinly sliced green onions, divided |
1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 pound ground chicken |
4 lettuce leaves |
4 hamburger buns, split |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the celery, apple, salad dressing and walnuts. In another small bowl, combine the hot sauce, ketchup and butter; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the red pepper, 2 tablespoons green onion, applesauce, salt, garlic salt and pepper. Crumble chicken over mixture and mix well. Shape into four burgers.
3. Broil 6 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 165° and juices run clear, basting occasionally with reserved sauce.
4. Serve on lettuce-lined buns; top each with 2 tablespoons slaw and sprinkle with remaining green onion. Yield: 4 servings.
