You’ll love these BBQ turkey burgers.
My late husband and I loved to go out to eat, and on the weekends we would eat out at least twice if not three times. The weekends were a slippery slope for me. I love burgers!
I would do great Monday through Friday and then come Friday night it’s as if I lost my mind and ate whatever I wanted, knowing that I “did good” the previous five days. Well, that doesn’t work my friends. Unless you want to gain and lose the same five pounds.
I hit the reset button on June 13 when I weighed in at 190.2. That’s the highest adult weight I’ve been in a very long time. Not my all time high of 211 but I needed to focus and get my shit together.
Guess what? Just following the WW plan. However, I do it a bit differently. I am on Team Purple so I get 300 “free” foods to chose from and 16 points a week, plus an additional 35 weekly points, or a total of 147 points for the week. Getting “blue dots” on the WW app means that you stayed within your point range for the day.
Me? I switch it up! My points this past week from Saturday through Friday: 25, 17, 22, 18, 25, 26, 23 for a total of 156 points. I lost 3 pounds this week. I think it’s important to keep your body guessing about what it’s going to get, instead of eating exactly 5 points for breakfast, 5 points for lunch and 6 points for dinner.
Hopefully that makes sense?! My mantra this millionth time getting “back on track” is consistency, not perfection. That’s it. Oh, and it helped that I am nearly half way through my #dryjuly challenge!
What’s the Secret to a Juicy Turkey Burger?
But now that ground turkey breast is zero points on my WW plan, I knew I had to give them another try. My secret to a juicy BBQ turkey breast burger? I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter.
It makes all the difference. It seriously is the key to a juicy burger. Another tip: don’t flip the burger too soon. Whether on the grill or in a cast iron skillet, let the burger cook to get that browned caramelized goodness.
BBQ Turkey Burger . . .
Since the burger is basically zero points (but has calories!) go ahead and splurge on a good bun. This was a perfect summer dinner last week. Check out my turkey burger sliders too – these are delish too!
So if you’ve been giving turkey burgers the stink eye for a while, give this one a try – pinky swear you’ll love it!
Until next time, be well!
Going to try!🤞🏼
I know you’ll love it!
