Grilled Cheddar Turkey Burger and Baked Fries

Dinner Tonight: Grilled Cheddar Turkey Burger and Baked Fries

A perfect Autumn day out today! It's in the low 60's and sunny. Went to the store early and then yard work. I got the 4 wheel mobility scooter out and helped Mom rake the leaves, do some final trimming, and put away some of the Summer lounge chairs. Love getting out like that and doing work, thankfully I have that scooter that lets me get out like that and help out! For dinner I was able to fire the grill up one more time, it will be retired after this use. Dinner tonight, a Grilled Cheddar Turkey Burger and Baked Fries.






I used Jennie – O Turkey Burger Patties (Lean). Only 180 calories and 9 g fat and already made into patties. I seasoned it with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper and grilled it about 17 minutes, flipping three times. 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. Anything tastes better grilled, now I just have to get a better grill to do it on. I also 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 Jello Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding.

Cheddar Bacon Turkey Burger w/ Baked Fries

Dinner Tonight: Cheddar Bacon Turkey Burger w/ Baked Fries

Well they were right when they said it would be cooler! Rolled out to get the Morning Paper and the old unofficial Outdoor thermometer said 38 degrees and with the cool breeze that was blowing it felt a bit cooler than that. But I love this weather! It was a beautiful Autumn Day out, sunny and cool. For dinner tonight I prepared a Cheddar Bacon Turkey Burger w/ Baked Fries.





While at Mejier last week I had picked up some Jennie – O Turkey Burger Patties (Lean). I had had one for dinner last week and it was so good I decided to have it again for dinner tonight. Easy to prepare and only 180 calories and 9 g fat and already made into patties. Pan fried it in Canola Oil about 17 minutes, flipping three times. While the pattie was 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. Love these Burgers!





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 Healthy Choice Chocolate Swirl Frozen Yogurt.

Ground Pork Pesto Burger w/ Baked Crinkle Fries

Dinner Tonight: Ground Pork Pesto Burger w/  Baked Crinkle Fries

I had a Ground Pork & Pesto Burger along with some Baked Crinkle Fries. The pesto mixed in with the Ground Pork is a perfect match! I had made up several of these and froze them. So after getting one from the freezer and thawing it out I fried the Burger in Extra Virgin Olive Oil about 4 minutes per side. It came out moist and juicy bursting with flavor. I topped it with Sauteed Baby Bella Mushrooms, a slice of Sargento Muenster Cheese and Reduced Kraft Mayo and served it on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Bun. I left the recipe at the end of the post. If you've never had a Ground Pork Burger you have to give them a try! As a side I had Baked Ore Ida Crinkle Fries. For dessert/snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Jolly Time Pop Corn.

Ground Pork Burgers
(Makes 4 Burgers)
Ingredients:

1 LB. Ground Pork (I used a 93/7 Blend)
1/4 Cup Basil Pesto (You can add more or less to taste)
1/4 cup Italian Style Bread Crumbs
Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper, to taste
4 Slices of Smoked Gouda Cheese or Muenster Cheese, Optional
Lettuce, sliced Tomato optional

Instructions:

* In a mixing bowl add your bread crumbs, pesto, and ground pork. Mix together and form into 4 Burgers
* Spray a large skillet and heat on medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
* Fry the Burgers to your liking, I fried these for about 4 minutes per side.
* Serve on a Bun of your choice (I used Healthy Life Whole Grain Buns). Add Sauteed Baby Bella Mushrooms, Reduced or Lite Mayo, and a Slice of Cheese.
