I decided to get the combo – 1/2 salad and cup of soup. I decided on a new salad I hadn’t tried before, half order of the Asian sesame chicken salad. The dressing is a reduced sugar Asian sesame vinaigrette, which I asked for on the side. Sadly, they left it out completely! I didn’t realize this until I got home, so had to settle for balsamic, which didn’t really work all that well.
I ended up eating about 3/4 of the salad, all of the soup and then I scooped out the middle of the bread, fed that to the dog, and just ate the crusty outside to dip in my soup.

So according to calorieking.com, I still have 573 calories left for the day. I was thinking of making turkey burgers tonight (don’t worry Tony, I’ll make yours beef). Does anyone have a tried and true turkey burger recipe?
Blizzard conditions, more snow and arctic air is in our immediate future. After the holidays are over I just can’t wait for spring! See you tonight!
i like to mix up some extra lean ground beef with the turkey meat. helps keep things nice and lean while keeping all of that beefy flavour for those burgers
Thanks for stopping by. I’ve never made turkey burgers so I can’t be of any help here. I wish I were as disciplined as you are on the calorie front. Perhaps it’ll rub off 🙂 I just made tofu, if you’re interested.
I’ve only ever been to Panera’s once and that was the salad I had, it’s a shame they forgot the dressing because it really does complete the salad!
We’re getting winter storm warnings too, I really wish spring would get here, and FAST!
Hello! Lunch looks yummy. Gotta love Panera. I haven’t been there in forever!! Sorry you keep getting hit with snow. I usually just throw in whatever I have on hand- usually something to keep them moist (bbq sauce, could tablespoons) and a little bit of cheese and spices.
I have never found a turkey burg recipe I am in love with. Let us know what you used.
UGH WEATHER!!!!!
I make my turkey burgers with the same seasonings as my beef meatloaf… they’re SO good!
Blah – don’t remind me of the horrible weather that’s headed towards us!!
LOVE THE PANERA! Yummmmm!!
Wow, glad to enjoyed it! It looks delicious! Sorry to hear that they left out the dressing completely, but oh well, yum!
I just watched Ultimate Recipe showdown last night and the woman made turkey burgers – http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/turkey-burgers-with-prosciutto-and-melon-recipe/index.html
I made theses with turkey (and red pepper flakes and regular lettuce and pan-fried them) and they were very good. Of course, they forgot your Tabasco.

Actaully I measure my servings of oatmeal dry and then add water and whatever else I’m putting in. This way I know exactly how much oatmeal I’m getting. Same with the frozen fruit. 🙂
the latest ones i made were ellie krieger’s stuffed turkey burgers. my rents even liked em 🙂
I made turkey burgers for the first time last week and mine came out really good. i sauteed some onion then once it was translucent I mixed it with about a teaspoon of dijon mustard, and a few drops of Worcestershire sauce (I would probably leave this out next time) then I added the meat to that mixed it up and made a patty. This was so moist and delicous.
