Cheddar Bacon Turkey Burger w/ Baked Fries

Dinner Tonight: Cheddar Bacon Turkey Burger w/ Baked Fries

Hard rains out on and off all day here. Went to Meijer in between the down pours and picked up a few items for dinner tonight and ran a few errands. For dinner tonight I prepared a Cheddar Bacon Turkey Burger w/ Baked Fries.





Meijer carries the best selection of Jennie - O Turkey Products, at around here. While there earlier today I purchased some Jennie - O Turkey Burger Patties (Lean), which was for dinner. Only 180 calories and 9 g fat and already made into patties. Pan fried them in Canola Oil about 17 minutes, flipping three times. While the patties were frying, in another skillet I fried up some Jennie -O Turkey Bacon, another low calorie and lean Jennie - O Turkey Product. The bacon is only 30 calories, 0 carbs and .05 g fat. I served the burger on an Aunt Millie's Reduced Calorie Whole Grain Bun and topped with a slice of Sargento Reduced Fat Sharp Cheddar and a slice of Turkey Bacon. One good tasting Burger!





For a side with my burger I baked some Ore Ida Simply Cracked Black Pepper and Sea Salt Country Style Fries. Served these with a side Daisy Reduced Fat Sour Cream. For dessert later a Skinny Cow Ice Cream Bar.

Turkey Burger w/ Twice Warmed Potato

Dinner Tonight: Turkey Burger w/ Twice Warmed Potato


At dinner tonight I had a Turkey & Swiss Burger. I used Jennie - O Extra Lean Ground Turkey (99/1 and 120 calories o carbs). It's hard to beat Jennie - O Ground Turkey for freshness. I seasoned it with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper. Fried in Extra Virgin Olive Oil about 4 1/2 to 5 minutes per side. Topped it with a slice of Sargento Ultra Thin Swiss Cheese and served on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Bun.

For a side tried a new recipe, Twice Warmed Potato. They really came out good and their almost a meal in their self. Easy to fix and a little time consuming putting it all together but well worth it! All you need is a large baking Potato, 2 Tbsp. PHILADELPHIA Chive & Onion  Cream Cheese Spread, 2 Tbsp. Daisy Light Sour Cream, and 1/4 cup Sargento Shredded Reduced Fat Cheddar - Jack Cheese, divided. Microwave your potatoes for 7 or so minutes, scoop out the flesh of the potatoes and add your ingredients and mix. Then scoop it back into your potatoes and bake 10 minutes at 40 degrees. You then have one delicious Twice Warmed Potato! I'm going to try this one again sometime soon and add some Turkey Chili to it. I left the recipe below. For dessert later sticking to the fruit tonight. A Mini Banana and a couple of slices of a Gala Apple.
