Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / November 2003REC - turkey burgers
I bought turkey burger because it was on sale and it was really low in fat. But I can't stand turkey... I found a way that I like it, so thought I'd share. Thaw 1 lb of turkey, mix in 2 eggs, 2 slices of whole wheat bread, some dehydrated onion, garlic salt, pepper, and a couple tablespoons of miracle whip lite. Form into patties and grill, or broil in oven for 5 minutes. These are pretty tasty, and fairly good nutrition-wise. det As an aside, one day I thought I'd buy some ground chicken for a dish thinking it would take away what I consider a distinctive undertone of ground turkey in things like "beef" barbque, I looked at the fat content and was shocked to see how high it was. I was just as well off buying the beef. I will try your turkey burgers...I'd love to find a way to fix ground turkey without complaints from the kiddies.

You really have to watch the label - some ground turkey or chicken is alot of dark meat, which is higher in fat. > > As an aside, one day I thought I'd buy some ground chicken for a dish > > thinking it would take away what I consider a distinctive undertone of [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > You really have to watch the label - some ground turkey or chicken is alot > of dark meat, which is higher in fat. Not only dark meat but they actually put skin in it too which is the worst part fat wise. > > > As an aside, one day I thought I'd buy some ground chicken for a dish > > > thinking it would take away what I consider a distinctive undertone of [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Not only dark meat but they actually put skin in it too which is the worst > part fat wise.

When I lived in south Jersey, people called it the "brown meat". Cracked me up all the time.  SignatureWalking on . . . Laurie in Maine 207/110 60 inches of attitude!

I've been using it in soup, that seems to work out well. Brown 1.25 lbs ground turkey (low fat, drain the grease) Combine browned turkey in stock pot with 5 cups canned tomato puree 5 cups water 1 bag frozen veggie soup mix 2 bay leaves *spice to taste* Bring to a slight boil, and simmer for about 20-30 minutes. * Spices for me usually include about 1/8 cup powdered garlic, 1 tbsp hot pepper seeds, and 2 tbsp cracked pepper. This makes about 5 2-cup servings, at about 360 calories each. >As an aside, one day I thought I'd buy some ground chicken for a dish >thinking it would take away what I consider a distinctive undertone of >ground turkey in things like "beef" barbque, I looked at the fat content and >was shocked to see how high it was.

You can sometimes find ground chicken breast. Some ground chicken is made with mostly dark meat and is quite high in fat. It's easier to find ground turkey breast. And even regular ground turkey (light and dark) is pretty good as far as fat content.

DH prefers when I grind beef because he likes the "rough" grind. Jenn |
