Is there anything better than a BBQ?
Summer time eats are often treats. Treats that we like to share with others, containing a little more sweet and a little more fat.
But it does NOT have to.
I enjoy a good BBQ , a fire, a walk for ice cream.... over the next week I will share with you some healthy alternatives that will make your tastebuds water and you'll want to share with your friends.
FIRST RECIPE:
Lets start with a great BBQ alternative that is #DairyFree #GlutenFree and #Keto friendly.
Turkey Burgers!! -
These are one of my top favourites. I have talked about these as an alternative before.
Recently I have re-vamped my recipe for summer BBQ season & I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Recipe:
2 Pounds Ground Turkey
1 TBS Oregano
1 Fresh Clove Garlic Crushed
1 TSP ginger
1 TSP Cayenne
1 Cup Chop Portobello Mushrooms
1 Large Red Onion Chopped
1 Large Egg
Himilayan Salt & Pepper To Taste
I top my burgers with Mustard, a tiny bit of natural peanut butter, sliced tomatoes and if I really want a nice treat a slice of turkey bacon. All on a lettuce wrap.
I don't always use a lettuce wrap to substitute for a bun. Sometimes I am craving a nice toasted multigrain bun and that is okay too.
So, why am I showing you turkey burgers instead of beef burgers?...
Fat content is the big difference between beef and turkey options. Although there can be lean cuts with as little as 4 grams of fat, there are many others that contain lots of fat. For example, a tenderloin can contain as much as 16 gram per 3-once serving. Leaner cuts of beef include the top round, flank, shoulder and extra-lean ground beef. That being said, Turkey is generally low-fat, with most pieces containing only 1 to 4 grams, but remember it is important to remove the skin. Eating the skin brings a turkey breast from 1 gram of fat to 7 grams.
