Shredded Cabbage Turkey Burger 

I've had some pretty unique taste buds the last few weeks so this is no exception. Since I see cabbage all the time I had a random thought in my mind about how shredded cabbage would taste if I sauteed it in EVOO and then placed it atop a grilled turkey burger. I was shopping a few nights ago and got a little irritated when I saw turkey burgers with a high fat content. They were in the range of 18 grams of fat. However I kept on looking and ran into some organic turkey burgers that had 8 grams of fat. I figure what is the worse that could happen with the cabbage. If I didn't like it, I would eat on the side of the burger. Anyway, that is how my Shredded Cabbage Turkey Burger was born. 

Ingredients

Organic Turkey Burgers (1-2) 
1/3 of the Dole Brand Shredded Cabbage 
1 tsp Garlic Powder 
1 tsp Black Pepper
1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil 
Whole wheat or White hamburger buns
1 tsp of chopped onions 

For the Burgers: 
Season burgers and grill until they are cooked at your consistency. I grilled on my George Foreman Grill and prepared them well done.  I set aside for the cabbage topping.  *Make sure to wash hands before and after handling the burgers* 

For the cabbage topping: 
Place EVOO in the pot/pan until sizzling, then add the cabbage, chopped onions, garlic powder and black pepper. Cook until the cabbage is ready to be served. I cooked mines for about ten - fifteen minutes. I added a dash of Turmeric on it. 



Preparing your burgers: 
Place the burgers on the buns, then add the cabbage in the middle of the hamburger. Eat and enjoy.
