Turkey Burgers with a Twist

I know posting twice in one weekend might seem a bit excessive, but tonight’s dinner was absolutely blog-worthy. After a fun afternoon at the Travelers Championship, it was a perfect summer evening for a turkey burger, but I didn’t want the hefty serving of carbs that come along with consuming two slices of bread or a bun. Portobello mushrooms are a good source of potassium and niacin and at about 25 calories per cap, they are a guilt-free, low-cal alternative to carb-loaded bread.

Rinse your mushroom caps and gently scrape out the insides using a fork. These are now ready to be used as your “bun”. Next, add your burger and any toppings your taste buds are yearning for. Add a pinch of salt & freshly ground pepper and you have yourself a nutritious, yet filling summertime meal!

Make it even healthier: Go sans chips and instead, cut up a cucumber or your favorite veggies and add a tablespoon of hummus for dipping.

 

(I added a grilled turkey burger, a slice of avocado, a slice of tomato and organic salsa)
