Ingredients:
16oz extra lean ground chicken (or turkey!)
2 red peppers
1 cloves garlic, minced
3 tsp dried basil
3 tsp onion powder
2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp garlic powder
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 500°F and move the oven rack close to the top.
2. Line a cookie sheet with tin foil, and place the whole red peppers on the sheet in a row.
3. Broil the peppers until the skin blackens on each side, rotating every few minutes for a total
of about 30 minutes.
4.Remove the peppers and place in a bowl, covered. The steam will help the skin to peel off
with more ease.
5. While the peppers are cooling, combine ground chicken, minced garlic, oregano, basil, onion powder and garlic powder in a large bowl.
6. When the peppers are cool enough to touch, remove the skin and discard. Toss the roasted red peppers in a blender or food processor for few seconds until they form a thick sauce. Add the pureed peppers to the chicken and spice mixture. Mix well.
7. Re-line the cookie sheet with tin foil. (I also sprayed it with cooking spray to be safe– the mixture is quite sticky).
8. Using a food scale, measure out 4oz balls of the meat/pepper mixture. Place the 4oz balls onto the tin foil and form into patties.
9. Broil the patties for 6 minutes, flip, and broil another 6 minutes on the opposite side.
10. Serve on ezekiel english muffins, ezekiel tortillas, salad, whatever you like! (I also added a bit of crumbled goat cheese, because what goes better with roasted red pepper?) So tasty!!
