Don't worry about the sugar...

tbdw_tbdw - May 26, 2007 10:28:25 AM PST

The sugar isn\'t in the burger, it\'s in the pickled onions. I used a sugar-free brown sugar substitute and it cam out just fine. Very tasty indeed

sounds good!

Lynn - May 26, 2007 08:35:08 AM PST

from what I see the ingredients are pretty healthy. the sugar is only for the pickles, which you\'d discard later. most of the ingredients in the patty calls for spices, giving flavor and zing. i think it\'s really great! can top it with juicy tomatoes and lettuce, too!

Since when is 18g of fat healthy...at all?

erumq_1990 - May 26, 2007 01:24:25 PM PST

Have you ever checked the fat on other burgers? That\'s not bad at all.

Re: Too many 'caleries'

ksmt89 - May 26, 2007 01:51:32 PM PST

It does NOT have a high amount of calories. That\'s extremely low for a burger of its size, when you consider that those flimsy McDonalds cheeseburgers are around 290 calories and about 1/3 this size. Subway sandwiches under the "6 Grams of Fat" menu have at least 230 calories each, most of them ranging in the 290 area. You\'re just not going to eat a sandwich or a burger under 400 calories. And you don\'t need the pickled onions if you don\'t want them.

Another thing to consider: It\'s a BURGER. It\'s not like this is a suggestion for eating healthy, period, it\'s a suggestion for eating healtiher.

This sounds---

marcia_0 - May 26, 2007 04:01:00 PM PST

and tastes great. Dietians recommed a 30-30-30-10 split on foodstuffs....with sweets being 10%. So the 18 grams of fat are well within parameters. Moderation is the keyword on health issues.

good recipe

thephilosopher76 - May 26, 2007 01:31:48 PM PST

from previous experience i can testify to this. Would like to see how you can use this ground turkey in pasta though its a lot softer just feels kind of different with those but with burgers of course thats all you need

benjamin h - May 26, 2007 01:39:19 PM PST

Not to be rude but you obviously don\'t know much if you think 18g of fat is much for a burger. A regular BK whooper already has 39g of fat, that is half the fat lost right there. Considering how much Americans eat burgers, thats is two for one on terms of fat.

Other uses

Hollydee - August 1, 2007 07:53:12 AM PST

I don\'t particularly care for the ground turkey as burgers but I am more than willing to give it another try. I love to use ground turkey in pasta sauces, tacos, casseroles or anything you would otherwise use ground beef in. It is not that much different in texture when you combine it with the other ingredients. My kids grew up thinking that turkey was ground beef... they didn\'t know any differently until they started grocery shopping with me. Now they switch them up too.

Great idea

darlingnikki0486 - May 27, 2007 12:03:34 PM PST

Sounds great - flavorful without lots of bad-for-you marinades and sauces.

to reviewers who criticize...there is a reason it says "better for you" and not "good for you". the author is simply giving those who eat fast food, fat filled, greasy burgers a new recipe to try and make their lives a bit healthier. sure there are better alternatives - like veggie burgers - but for those who are no into eating tofu and lettuce all their lives this is a great alternative.


GREAT RECIPE

havanna425 - May 26, 2007 02:30:36 PM PST

Why would anyone opt for a McDonald\'s cheeseburger over this turkey burger made from scratch? You can always change up the recipe if you want. Unless of course you like grizzle, then by all means, go get some fast food

It

billbird2111 - April 1, 2009 12:47:05 PM PST

It\\\'s the amount of saturated fat. And turkey burgers have almost zilch. And 18 grams of fat is not a lot, when you consider that your average fast food burger packs a wallop of 40 fat grams or more...

Good!

teresa g - April 1, 2009 11:16:04 AM PST

It does sound good, you could also leave out the brown sugar and mayo and use spicy mustard. That would save appx 50-70 calories for each burger. I use thin sliced wheat bread which has 45 cals per slice for my burgers, they are not as big but it saves lots of calories.

ericmiska - May 26, 2007 04:32:53 PM PST

leave out the sugar and mayo and its a pretty good recipe. just make sure the buns you get are actually whole wheat and arent full of crap like high fructose corn syrup.

Too much fat!

Jonathan G - May 26, 2007 02:09:08 PM PST

For just a single hamburger, this has way too much fat in it, try an alternative like a vegie burger if your looking for good eating. Only 0.5 Grams of fat per serving! Now thats eating healthy.

try bison burgers

fitone - May 26, 2007 02:17:39 PM PST

The same size bison burger will cut that fat content in half and taste better than the turkey burger.

Fat content

amy k - May 26, 2007 01:47:38 PM PST

i am sure if you wanted to cut the fat you could use ground white turkey or chicken. Its just a matter of looking at the ingredients and finding a good substitute for the high fat ingredient, I personally can not wait to try it as it soulds like a great recipe

pinkbulldogdogasu - May 26, 2007 04:15:14 PM PST

How about lose the meat and substitute a soyburger? If you\'re seriously looking into better health.
Please look into it. Do the research. It\'s so much better for you. All the protien you need.

Looks yummy... but the fat content don't!

lilfae - May 26, 2007 01:40:00 PM PST

Did you see how many grams of fat and sugar PER serving. Sugar not just in the pickles.... plenty of it in the overall. Still looks very yummy though. But it does come with a price.

It doesn\'t seem that healthy because of the high amount of caleries and sugar but I bet its healthier than other burgers out there.

Just Broil It

jonnymovegas - May 26, 2007 01:47:59 PM PST

Just broil a ground turkey patty. I shred cabbage as a bed, mixed with a bit of mayo, top it with onion and put it in the bun. Barbeque sauce or ketchup and mustard work well as condiments. No need to make a federal case out of it.
