Today's Recipe: Bleu Cheese and Bacon Turkey Burgers w/ Bleu Cheese Butter and Baked Crinkle Fries


I got the idea for these burgers from Sandra Lee of the Food Network. I made some changes from her original recipe to cut the calories and carbs. I switched the Burger from Beef to Turkey along with switching to Turkey Bacon. The flavor of the Burger is fantastic! I'll be making more of these this way. I topped it with a Bleu Cheese Butter, another Sandra Lee recipe. I wasn't too sure about the Butter but I gave it a try and it was delicious. Perfect topping for Burgers and Bleu Cheese lovers!. I served it on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Bun. For a side I had Ore Ida Crinkle Fries. I left the recipes for the Burger and Bleu Cheese Butter at the end of the post. For dessert/snack later a 100 Calorie Bag of Jolly Time Mini Bag of Pop Corn. Thanks again to Sandra Lee and the Food Network!
