Asian Turkey Burgers with Sesame Mayo - South Beach Diet Recipe (Phase 2)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Start to finish: 35 minutes
To make ahead: Prepare through Step 2. Wrap patties individually and refrigerate for up to 8 hours or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before cooking.
Degree of difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
2 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread, crusts removed, torn into pieces
3/4 pound lean ground turkey breast
One 8-ounce can sliced water chestnuts, rinsed and chopped
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 scallions, trimmed and sliced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
11/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup Sesame Mayonnaise (see recipe)
To make:
1. Heat grill to medium-high.
2. Place bread in a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs. Transfer to a large bowl. Add ground turkey, water chestnuts, hoisin, scallions, ginger, garlic and salt; mix well. (The mixture will be moist.) Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Form into 1/2-inch-thick patties (see Tip).
3. Oil grill rack (See Grilling Tip). Brush patties with sesame oil. Grill until browned and no longer pink in the center (165°F), about 5 minutes per side.
4. Meanwhile, prepare Sesame Mayonnaise to serve with the burgers.
Tip: When forming burger patties, make them thinner at the center to prevent them from steaming as they cook.
Ingredient Note: Hoisin sauce is a dark brown, thick, spicy-sweet sauce made with soybeans and a complex mix of spices. Look for it in the Chinese section of your supermarket, and in Asian groceries.
Grilling Tip: Oil the grill rack just before cooking. The grill should already be heated and the coals or burners adjusted for the correct temperature. Oil a folded paper towel. Hold it with tongs and pull it toward you over the rack. Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.

Chicken ****** Ideas 45 minute meals - South Beach Diet Recipe (Phase 2)
You can vary this one to suit your needs and your pantry.
Chicken ******* (I buy a huge bag of boneless skinless ******* frozen at costco)
1. Take the ******* out of the freezer and place in a ziplock bag. Add cold water and let sit for 10 minutes or so. (You can skip this and go straight to the oven step, with no problems)
2. Pour out the water and add your favorite vinegar and oil salad dressing.
3. You can either marinade in this for 30 min if you have time, or just bake in a 375 * oven in the dressing for 30 minutes.
4. Here is the clincher. After 30 minutes dump out the dressing and top the chicken however you like. Add feta and tomatoes, or green pepper slices and onion with provolone, a slice of canadian bacon and swiss, bacon bits and cheddar, spagetti sauce pepperoni and mozzerella, basically whatever ya got that you like. Cook for an additional 5 - 10 minutes to melt the cheese.
