Picture300 Calorie Turkey Burger
Who doesn’t love a delicious, grilled turkey burger with avocado? Better yet, less than 300 calories! Yes, this is happening.

I was so excited when this guy named Alvin told me about his 300 calorie turkey burger. I decided to modify the recipe a bit, not because of free will, but because I didn’t have it in my tiny apartment. I had to remove the egg whites and bread crumbs that help to hold the patty together. However, the George Foreman Grill was the perfect solution to make a solid lean patty.

Time: 40 minutes to prep/cook

Serving size: 6 burgers


Ingredients: Safeway and Trader Joe’s

  1. George Foreman Grill
  2. 99% lean ground turkey meat (1.6lb, bought it at Safeway Supermarket)
