Memorial Day Makeover!



Memorial Day is upon us & we all know that means family & friend get togethers usually based around food. Check out the turkey burger in the picture & this is how you can keep to your weight loss program. The link below takes you to the Hungry Girl site that has the recipe as well as a comparison to another turkey burger. This make over saves you 760 calories and 53.5 grams of fat!!!!!

If you want to make this even leaner, you can make your own turkey burger with 99% extra lean ground white meat turkey and use only one side of the bun if that is an issue for you. You can add diced onions, mustard, egg whites & things like this to keep it moist. There are lots of great recipes on the web to give you additional ideas. I make a turkey meatloaf using the above ingredients noted. I put a sweet/spicy mustard from Trader Joes in mine & I love the taste it adds to my meatloaf. You can do the same but make patties & add your fav spices too... chili powder or garlic powder.... whatever you like. Enjoy and get creative!

The "light" version looks less greasy! And sounds pretty good too.
