Healthy Chef creations: Under 100 calorie Buffalo/Turkey Burgers!!

So the other day was a food prep day for me. I made a simple dish, yet very delicious and healthy. Try it out if you'd love something easy to make, low cal, and high protein. It's also great to grab on the way out the door.

Recipe:

Ingredients:
1 lb. Ground Buffalo
1 lb. Lean Ground Turkey Breast
1 Jalapeño, diced
1 Medium Yellow Onion, diced
1.5 Tbsp Cajun Seasoning
2 links Jennie-O Turkey Bacon

Steps:
1) Diced the onion, turkey bacon, and jalapeño.

2) Place the buffalo, turkey, and diced ingredients into a mixing bowl.

3) Add the Cajun seasoning into the mixture and mix together the ingredients fully.

4) Using a food scale, roll 3 oz. balls of the mixture.

5) Use either a George Forman grill or a BBQ pit. Place the amount of balls into the grill. Space about 2 inches apart. Smash the ball down while on the grill into a patty about 2 inches thick.

6) Flip when necessary, let them flip twice and should turn a light grey color, not fully brown like a traditional beef burger. Cook time on the grill is roughly 5-9 minutes depending on temperature of the grill.

8) Serve and enjoy.
