This is a recipe I have been making a lot recently, and I love them :)
I have designed it for a low cal, low carb diet.

Ingredients:
Extra lean ground turkey or chicken (you can use red meats, I like to keep the cals low).
1 Jalapeño (chopped)
Chopped garlic
1 Egg white (whole egg if not cutting)
Chilli powder (to taste – I like them hot)
½ medium onion (chopped)
½ green pepper (chopped)
Salt and pepper to taste
Whole wheat flour.

Cook the onion and green pepper until soft (I steam them in a pan with a touch of water).
Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl except for the flour.
If the mixture is too runny (should be sticky but not fluid-like) add some rolled oats.
Split the mixture up and roll into balls.
Flour a work surface and coat the surface of the balls with flour – pat down gently to a burger shape.
Spray pan with PAM and cook on a medium heat for about 4 minutes on each side.

I love these really spicy, but you can add or remove certain ingredients depending on what you like.
Oh and spicy food is thought to increase metabolism - bonus!
The smaller the balls you roll or the thinner you pat them, the less cooking time is needed.
The flour on the outside is not a requirement, but it makes this delicious crust on the outside of the burger.

It all depends on what meat you use and how large the burgers are you make.

Could you sneak some cayenne in there and have it be its own fat burning burger?
