Total Time: 25 min
Ingredients:
- 1 pound Ground Beef (93% or leaner)
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon Montreal steak seasoning
- 4 whole wheat hamburger buns
- Sliced tomatoes and lettuce
Cooking:
- Combine ground beef, quinoa, egg and Montreal steak seasoning in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Lightly shape into four 1/2-inch patties.
- Place patties in center of grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 8 to 10 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, covered, 7 to 9 minutes) until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F, turning occasionally. Place burgers on bottom halves of buns; top with tomato slices and lettuce. Close sandwiches.
Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.
These burgers may be served on bed of fresh mixed greens drizzled with vinaigrette.
