Japanese style "Hamburg" made with a Turkey burger patty and homemade Katsu sauce; Pan fried Zucchini; Vegetable Fried Rice with brown basmati, onion, green onion, garlic, carrot, green beans, salt and pepper.

You can make a low fat "Hamburg" with a pre-made turkey burger patty. Cut the patty in half, then re-shaped each half into a mini-burger. Sear one side on a frying pan and coat the other side with Katsu sauce. When you flip the patty over, coat the seared side with Katsu sauce. When the burger is fully cooked, flip it over again to caramalize the sauce onto the burger.

Steamed Baby Bok Choy with Soy Sauce and Umi Vinegar; Cherry Tomato; Smoked Turkey Sausage; Mixed Sweet Brown Rice with Carrot, Corn, Soy Beans, Green Onion, Soy Sauce, and Sake

Typically we think of seasoned rice as Fried Rice. A lowfat alternative to frying is to sautee the ingredients and then add the rice. Sautee ingredients over medium heat, remove the pan from the heat, and stir your hot cooked rice into the sautee ingredients. The hot rice will soak up the juices from your sauteed ingredients. When sauteeing use broth or flavored liquid in place of oil. Don't overcook vegetables, they should be slightly al dente as they will continue to absorb liquid as they sit in the hot rice.
