Breakfast Turkey Stack (Phase 1)

Makes 4 servings

Description
Quick, homemade turkey patties piled high with juicy tomato and bubbly melted cheese make an irresistible breakfast stack that offers a change of pace from the usual. Pair with a salad for a great brunch or lunch. Patties can be individually wrapped and frozen for up to 1 month; just defrost and reheat in the oven or microwave.

Ingredients
1 pound ground turkey breast
4 teaspoons sugar-free pancake syrup
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 large beefsteak tomato, cut into 4 slices
4 (1-ounce) slices reduced-fat cheddar cheese


Instructions
Heat oven to broil.


Combine turkey, syrup, sage, cayenne, salt, pepper, and ginger in a mixing bowl and mix well. Divide into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) patties.


Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; cook patties until well browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from heat.


Place tomato slices in a single layer in a baking dish; season with salt and pepper. Top each slice with 1 turkey patty and 1 cheese slice; broil until cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Serve hot.
