Ingredients

• 500 grams lean ground beef (95% lean)
• 60 grams whole wheat bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 large egg white
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 8 buns whole wheat slider buns
• 8 lettuce leaves
• 8 slices tomato slices
• 8 slices avocado slices

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, whole wheat bread crumbs, low-sodium soy sauce, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg white, black pepper, and kosher salt.

Step 2

Gently mix the ingredients with your hands until well combined. Be careful not to overwork the mixture to keep the burgers tender.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a small patty, about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Once the oil is shimmering, add the patties to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C) and they are cooked through.

Step 6

While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the whole wheat slider buns to enhance their flavor and texture.

Step 7

To assemble the burgers, place each cooked patty on a bottom bun, and top with a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and an avocado slice.

Step 8

Finish with the top bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your heart-healthy mini beef burgers!
