Slimming World Cheeseburgers

Healthy Turkey or Mince Cheeseburgers

These burgers really do taste delicious and you would never ever believe that they where as healthy as they are because they taste that good. The great thing about these burgers is the cheese is hidden inside the burgers so when you bite into it you get that lovely extra creamy surprise.  If following slimming world and on the Extra Easy Plan and you use the cheese and muffin as an "a and b" choice then this recipe is free. 

Ingredients for Burger 

Turkey Lean Mince (1 pack from lidels will make 3 - 4 burgers)

Baby Bell Cheese

capers

spring onions

seasoning of choice - salt, pepper, garlic salt or chilli pepper

Worcester Sauce - Good sprinkle off

Mix mince with your hands and all ingredients except the cheese. Roll into a burger shape then place one baby bell inside each burger. Ensure the mince covers all the cheese both front and back. Then place cling-film tightly round the burgers and put in freezer for later or rest in fridge to chill if having later. 

Server on a  brown bap or bun with plenty of salad, onions and tomato. Use thick yogurt dip or quark to spread on bread so as not to taste to dry. Serve with either slimming world chips, as it is or salad and relish.

Tzatziki

Greek Yogurt and Cucumber Sauce also known as Tzatziki

Having just come back from a holiday in Corfu, I fell in love with the Tzatziki. This of course varies slightly as some people prefer to use dill instead of mint, however I loved the freshness of this particular recipe Its easy to do, however to make it just right you do need to allow plenty of time for the  preparation. 

Ingredients

Greek Yoghurt either normal or low fat

1x Lemon

1x cucumber

garlic clove x 2

fresh mint - few pieces 

sea salt

Directions

Sieve the yoghurt for 2 hours. I used doubled up kitchen roll over a jug securing with an elastic band and poured the yoghurt in it to drain for 2hrs. This is important as this will remove any unwanted water from the yoghurt and ensure your tzatziki is the right consistency.

At the same time I also peeled and de-seeded the cucumber. Then I chopped into pieces added to a sieve and sprinkled sea salt on and also left to drain over a bowl for same amount of time.

Add  cucumber, galic, salt and pepper and sprigs of mint to a blender and mix well. Add the blended mixture to the strained yoghurt and stir well. Put in fridge and leave for another 2 hours so that all the flavour blends.

Serve with crusty bread or crackers for a really healthy snack any-time day or night.
