Tis the season for relaxed backyard barbeques, but just because you want to let loose on the weekends doesnt mean your healthy eating habits have to get derailed until Monday. And as much as I love the traditional all-beef patty (I am from the Midwest, after all), it is nice to switch things up every now and then.
For you culinarily-cautious folks, try making the swap in baby steps by pumping up your typical beef burger with ingredients such as bean sprouts, shredded zucchini, beans, wheat germ or even whole grains (bulgur is a good choice) for added flavor, fiber and moisture. Then when youre ready to take the plunge, tickle your taste buds with these four alternative burger recipes that are easy on the waistline, yet still satisfy the heartiest of appetites.
Plus theyre so flippin delicious, you may just forget theyre good for you!
Cherry Bison Burger
Even though it has yet to compete in popularity, buffalo meat is lower in cholesterol and calories yet higher in iron and protein than beef. The rich flavor pairs well with cherries, which not only add a dose of antioxidants, but also a sweet zing to these burgers.
- 1 pound ground buffalo (American Bison)
- 3 ounces dried cherries, chopped
- 3 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Mix all ingredients until well-blended, form into patties, then grill and serve with lettuce on toasted whole wheat buns.
Thanksgiving Dinner Turkey Burger
Theres nothing tastier than that day-after-Thanksgiving sandwich, piled high with all the trimmings. This burger is a throwback to that memorable meal, with all the same indulgent flavors, just less fat and fewer calories.
- 1 pound ground turkey breast
- onion, finely chopped
- cup celery, finely chopped
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons poultry seasoning
- cup seasoned stuffing mix
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Mix all ingredients until well-blended, then form into patties and grill, serving with cranberry relish and light mayonnaise on toasted wheat bread.
Chicken Satay Burger
Whether eaten on a stick or in a bun, this is one of my favorite dishes and easily transforms into a simple-yet-exotic weeknight meal. Play with the spicy peanut sauce to get your desired consistency thicker can be spread directly on the burger, while a thinner sauce would be great for dipping.
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 clove minced garlic
- cup chopped cilantro
- cup chopped mint
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- teaspoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Mix all ingredients above until well-blended, and form into patties. While patties are on the grill, mix the following ingredients for spicy peanut sauce: cup peanut butter with 2 tablespoons coconut milk, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 2 teaspoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon brown sugar and teaspoon crushed red pepper. A fat burning review can help you produce a clear outline of what you require to focus on to achieve your fat reduction goal if you're a beginner; or serve as a reminder for those who are at an intermediate or more advance level of their weightloss strategy. Promptly after are seven steps that can serve as methods for your special weight loss program. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not the same thing. Many weight loss programs have misled people into wondering that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss plans only work by resulting in a person's body to burn more muscle tissue and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. Serve on toasted whole wheat buns.
Glazed Ginger Soy Salmon Burgers
- 1 pound canned or finely diced fresh salmon
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 2 scallions, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Mix all ingredients until well-blended, form into patties and pan-fry using olive oil spray to prevent sticking. Serve on toasted whole wheat buns with ginger-lime aioli, which can be made with cup light mayonnaise, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 teaspoons minced ginger and 1 tablespoon lime juice.
