Quick, homemade turkey patties piled high with juicy tomato and bubbly melted cheese make an irresistible breakfast stack that offers a change of pace from the usual. Pair with a salad for a great brunch or lunch. Patties can be individually wrapped and frozen for up to 1 month; just defrost and reheat in the oven or microwave.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey breast
• 4 teaspoons sugar-free pancake syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 large beefsteak tomato, cut into 4 slices
• 4 (1-ounce) slices reduced-fat cheddar cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to broil. Combine turkey, syrup, sage, cayenne, salt, pepper, and ginger in a mixing bowl and mix well. Divide into 4 (1/2 inch-thick) patties. Place tomato slices in a single layer in a baking dish; season with salt and pepper. Top each slice with 1 turkey patty and 1 cheese slice; broil until cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Serve hot.
