BPak’s Favorite Burgers from Chef Maxine

Note: Recipe as described by Chef Maxine from FitOrganics.com in the “Day in the Life” video recently posted by Ben.

Ingredients:
1 lb raw ground beef or turkey
3 carrots
3 pieces celery
1/2 – 1 onion (depending on taste)
salt and pepper to taste
1-2 Tb chili powder or other aromatics (curry powder, garlic powder, etc)
1 Tb rosemary or other herbs (oregano, thyme, sage)

Directions:
1. Put carrots and celery through food processer.
2. Chop onion finely and combine with carrots, celery, and all other ingredients.
3. Form into patties of desired size (Chef Maxine uses 3/4 cup to measure and shape)
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. To check for ‘done-ness’, insert a knife into the patty: if the juices run clear, the meat is fully cooked.
5. Remove from tray and let drain.
