Turkey's tryptophan spurs your brain to produce feel-good serotonin. Have this burger with a chocolate shake (chocolate has stress-relieving polyphenols). You can whip up an easy lowfat chocolate shake with frozen yogurt, skim milk, and a few vigorous squirts of chocolate syrup. Wrap any unused burgers in plastic wrap and freeze for your next stress attack! Ingredients:
1 egg white, lightly beaten |
1/3 cup cheddar cheese, diced |
12 oz lean ground turkey |
1/4 tsp salt |
1 cup kidney beans, drained and rinsed |
1/3 cup breadcrumbs |
2/3 cup chopped onion |
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
2/3 cup salsa (plus more for topping) |
1 tbsp canola oil |
1 cup green-leaf lettuce (about 4 large leaves) |
4 english muffins, split and toasted |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine egg white, cheese, turkey, salt, kidney beans, breadcrumbs, onion, cilantro, and salsa and mix thoroughly. Divide the mixture and form into 4 patties. Tuck any pieces of cheese into the burgers with your fingertip to prevent scorching. Heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add burgers and cook 6 to 7 minutes per side or until cooked through. Serve on English muffins, accompanied by lettuce and extra salsa (to use as a topping).
