Chef Brett Reichler of Bill’s Bar and Burger in New York City shares this healthy take on a classic burger. He uses the chia super-seed to bulk up the burger and incorporates tofu into the sauce for a smooth, low-fat mayonnaise alternative. At approximately 400 calories, you can’t go wrong with this deliciously juicy burger. For another low-calorie burger option, try the Scooped Turkey Burger.

Ingredients
Makes 5 servings
1/2 oz ground chia seeds
4 oz organic beef broth
16 oz all-natural 93% lean ground beef

4 multigrain sandwich thins

In a small stainless steel bowl, mix ground chia seeds and beef broth. Stir well and let stand for 15 minutes until liquid has thickened.
In a second stainless steel bowl, mix ground beef with chia seed mixture. Form 5 even patties and place in refrigerator on a sheet pan for at least 1 hour.
Heat a non-stick sauté pan coated with a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add patties to pan once completely heated, and cook patties until medium rare, approximately 3 minutes on each side. (Cook further if you like your burgers more well done.)
