I made a BURGER!!!

  • sooo last night my boys were begging for burgers. I also REALLY didn't feel like cooking 2 different meals. So I made burgers. I took a pound of 99% lean ground turkey and a pound of 96% lean ground beef and threw it in my kitchenaid with the paddle attachment. Added some minced dehydrated onion some granulated (powdered) garlic and a healthy does of Montreal steak seasoning and mixed it up. Pan cooked it on the stove with a tiny bit of spray in a non stick skillet till done.

    Each 4oz (raw weight) burger patty only has 135 calories.

    I piled it on a sarah lee 80 calorie hamburger bun, put on a slice of fat free swiss cheese for 35, lettuce tomato mustard and mushrooms for another 15 and I had a 1/4 pound burger for 265 calories It was very very yummy

    that was a YAY
  • Yum! I make burgers at home like that too (and meatloaf) and the family loves it
  • wow!! that sounds great. i need to try cooking this one day.. im not really a cooker but i love burgers and i always feel guilty when i crave one...

    thanks!
  • Yum! That sounds so good and not bad on the calories at all!
  • I LOVE turkey burgers!! I use 99% or 93/7 (bcuz its like $4 cheaper) fat free ground turkey. I also grate in some zucchini to keep them moist, garlic powder, pepper, tarragon and top off with some swiss YUMMO! my favorite low cal dinner the past couple months.
