Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 15 min

Ingredients:

  • 4 whole grain english muffins, toasted
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese

Directions:

In a bowl, mix together ground turkey, salt and pepper until well combined. Divide into quarters and mold four burgers. Heat a large saute pan over medium heat, cook the burgers for 5 minutes per side or until cooked all the way through, they should be 165 F in the center. Top with one slice of cheese and set aside.

In a non-stick skillet, over medium-low heat, add a little bit of oil. Crack the eggs into the pan, season with salt and pepper and cover for about 2-3 minutes or until whites are just set.  If not fully cooked, add 1 tbsp water to the pan and cover, this will help steam the whites. 

Place one half of the english muffin down, top with arugula, followed by the burger, then the egg, and finally the other half of the english muffin.
