Swiss Patty Melt with Peas


So it’s Monday afternoon and I am flipping through the Whole Foods coupon book they had out at their markets, and came across this healthy meal. It called for a few ingredients and thought this would be a great new meal for my husband. I was so excited to find a new recipe to try out for him to enjoy.

This is a gluten free, sugar conscious alternative to the patty melt you would see in a deli or sandwich shop. This recipe called for ground, lean organic turkey breast meat rather than ground beef. If you have ground chicken this would work just fine too. Gary loved it! It was filling, juicy and high in protein. I served the dish with steamed assortment of vegetables such as carrots, corn, beans and peas. Let me know your thoughts after serving this delicious, healthy meal!

Serving Size: 1
Ingredients:
½ lb ground turkey, formed into a patty
Salt & Fresh Ground Pepper to taste
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
½ small onion, sliced
¼ cup frozen organic green peas
2 tablespoons of grated Swiss cheese, or 2 slices of Swiss cheese

Instructions
1. Lightly season patty with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add the patty and cook until golden brown on the first side (about 3-4 minutes)
3. Flip patty and move to one side of the skillet
4. Add onions, salt and pepper to cleared side of skilled and cook until softened and golden brown (about 5 minutes).
5. Add peas and cook for 1 minute more, checking to ensure the patty is cooked through.
6. Sprinkle patty with cheese and transfer to a plate. Serve!!!
