The traditional patty melt gets a makeover with ground turkey, but substitute ground chicken or ground sirloin, if you prefer. Pair sandwiches with vegetable chips. Ingredients:
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1 cup vertically sliced vidalia or other sweet onion |
1/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese |
1 1/2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
1 pound ground turkey breast |
1 large egg white |
cooking spray |
4 (1-ounce) slices reduced-fat swiss cheese |
4 slices light rye bread |
1/4 cup country-style dijon mustard |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion to pan. Cook 5 minutes or until lightly browned; stir occasionally. Transfer onion to a bowl.
2. Preheat broiler.
3. Combine cheese and next 4 ingredients (through egg white). Divide turkey mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Return pan to medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add patties to pan; cook 4 minutes or until brown. Turn patties over; cook 1 minute. Top each patty with 1 cheese slice; cook 3 minutes or until cheese melts and patties are done.
4. Place bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet; broil 2 minutes or until toasted. Spread 1 tablespoon mustard on each bread slice; top each serving with 1 patty. Divide onion mixture evenly among sandwiches.
