2 tablespoons minced onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 egg white
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon light Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon EACH chili powder and celery seeds

pepper
4 hamburger rolls
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well
(using your
hands works best). Divide into 4 equal portions.
Shape each
portion into a 1/2 inch thick patties. Separate
patties using wax
paper. This also makes it easier to transfer
them to the grill .
Prepare grill. Cook burgers 4-5 minutes on each
side, or until
desired doneness is reached. Baste with your
favorite barbecue
sauce.
Serve on hamburger rolls with your favorite toppings.
Makes 4
servings.
The salsa is a snap to make and tastes fabulous
on grilled
burgers or grilled chicken sandwiches.
2 cups seeded and diced tomatoes
3/4 cup diced onions
1 Jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
2 teaspoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Salt and pepper to taste.
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well.
Allow to stand
for 30 minutes for flavors to develop. Spoon
salsa over hot
burgers. Makes about 2 cups.
HINT: Top your burger with non-fat or low-fat
cheese slices (vs.
regular cheese) and save about 7 grams of fat
per burger.
