Hope all is well! I read each and every daily post of food and exercise
as a guide for living and a source of inpiration! going to start
eating turkey burgers as soon as you share your recipe and techniques!

Hi Destiny,

I've been down at my mom's in North Carolina -- just got back. I need
to update my food logs and then will post all the old data. It was a
stressful trip -- we made a joint decision that it's time to move my
mom to the assisted living component (i.e., nursing home level of
care) of her retirement complex -- and I was very busy with stuff
related to that. I got no exercise and ate too much, but I'm back to
the routine for a little while, though I'm heading back down there on
the 15th to help with Mom's actual move, then again in mid-March with
my brother to close out her apartment.

While mom is fully in agreement that it's time for this change, the
move from a beautiful apartment of 4 large rooms to a single room is
not an easy one either emotionally or logistically. I wish all this
had waited until my retirement in July, but things don't always work
out as we wish.

I'm afraid there's no magic to the turkey burgers. I buy frozen
pre-made ones from Jennie-O (160 calories each) and cook them in my
George Foreman grill. The whole wheat buns are from Trader Joe's, the
fat-free cheese from Kraft, the dill pickles from Vlasic, and the
catsup from Heinz :-).

Sorry that you had a hard trip- I went through the same thing with my
Grandmother a few years ago. It is very hard!
Glad to know that you are alright!

best wishes! D

Destiny,

I was reading through the posts and saw the mention of turkey burgers.
I don't have a GF grill but do have a tasty recipe for turkey burgers.
The recipe uses a fry pan, but I usually do it on the grill. I would
think you could also use the GF grill to cook them.

1 lb ground turkey
1/2 c. Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
3 tbsp finely chopped onion
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp pepper
dash Worcestershire sauce
2 garlic clove, minced
2 egg white, lightly beaten

Combine first 9 ingredients in a bowl; stir well.
Add egg white; stir until blended.
Divide mixture into 1/4 lb. portions, shaping into ½ inch thick
patties.
Coat a medium nonstick skillet with cooking spray.
Place over medium heat until hot.
Add patties; cook 5 min. on each side.
Serve patties on hamburger buns with tomato and onion.

Per serving: 307 calories; 10 g fat; 26 g protein; 27 g carbs
(Serving being 1/4 lb. turkey breast)

I'm sorry that you are having to deal with this Chris. hugs

I use the Butterball turkey burgers (170). I get the large size box
from BJ's warehouse. I also cook them on the George. If it's just me
-- not DH and me -- I will sometimes do a Boca original burger (70 cals,
13 g protein) instead because I can nuke it so there is less cleanup ;-)

I tried nuking a Boca once - I didn't care for the texture. I still grill
them or heat them in a pan.
