4 Points per serving

16 ounces ground 90% lean turkey or beef

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

"All the flavor of the real thing, but without the extra fat! If you've never lost your taste for this oh-so-good-but-not-so-good-for-you dish, here's the answer-- and it's a winner."

1. In a large bowl, combine meat, black pepper, 1/4 cup beef broth, and bread crumbs. Mix well with hands to combine. Using a 1//3 cup measure as a guide, form 6 patties. Place patties in a large skillet sprayed with butter-flavored cooking spray and brown on both sides. Layer onions evenly over browned patties. In a covered jar, combine remaining 1 1/2 cups beef broth and flour. Shake well to combine. Pour broth mixture evenly over onion. Lower heat. Cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes. For each serving, place 1 patty on plate and evenly spoon onion sauce over top. Freezes well.
