Open Faced Turkey Patty Melt

This is ridiculously good, I can never believe I get all this for the points.
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1c vertically sliced Vidalia or other sweet onion
  • 1/4c fat free ricotta cheese
  • 1.5 tsp worstershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 lb ground turkey breast
  • 1 large egg white
  • 4x 1oz slices of reduced fat Swiss cheese
  • 4 slices light or whole grain rye bread
  • 1/4 c country style dijon mustard

1) Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add onion to pan. Cook until carmelized / brown. Transfer to a bowl.

2) Combine ricotta, worstershire, pepper, egg white, and turkey, using your hands to mix well. Divide into 4 equal sized patties. Coat pan with cooking spray, return to medium heat, and add patties. Cook 4 min each side, or until brown.

3) Meanwhile, toast bread and lay out on a cookie sheet. Spread each with 1 TB mustard, place one patty on each slice bread, and then divide onions evenly among sandwiches, placing those on top of the patties. Cover each with a slice of cheese.

4) Place in a preheated broiler for 3-4 min, or until cheese is bubbly and brown.

Yield, 4 servings, one sandwich each. 348 cal, 9g fat, 1.5 g fiber, 7 points
