Weight Loss - tofu

Tofu Burgers
1/2 lb. tofu
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 Tbsp. yeast
1 Tbsp. vegetable bouillon powder
Pepper, black (ground) to taste
1 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsp. sesame seeds
1/2 small potato, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 small onion, finely chopped

Blend the tofu, potato, and onion in a food processor. Don’t make the mix too fine. Add remaining ingredients, shape into burgers, and bake at 350 degrees on a lightly greased cookie sheet for 15 to 20 minutes, turning at 10 minutes. Makes three burgers. Even though it is tofu, this burger will pack a lot of flavor and is great for your P90x and weight loss plan.
