Just be sure to count the cals/measure the portions- bleu cheese can really add up quickly. But if that's what you like- eat it girl! You don't have to subsist on only diet food to lose weight! Enjoy your burger! mmmmmm bugery yumminess

I agree on people's turkey recommendation, but also would like to suggest Bison. Bison tastes just like beef to me, but it is leaner, and is way better than anything on a fast food burger menu!

That's the fun in creating your own burgers. I like to juice veggies and sometimes I will take the pulp when I clean the juicer and use it in my burger recipe.

I use a Boca burger & 1 homemade turkey patty.... on a lightly toasted whole grain english muffin. With a slice of fat free american cheese, the miracle whip or fat free mayo mixed with ketchup, top with lettuce, tomato...... I call them my "healthy Big Macs"

I agree with everyone's suggestions, but if you really want the mickey d's. A regular hamburger and small fries is only about 500 calories, and surprisingly is enough food to be satiated.

from chef jeremy....we have had these a few times and they are very very good....add grilled/broiled asparagus with olive oil spray and seasonings as a side and/or sweet potato wedges baked in the oven for like 40 mins and then broiled under the heat to crisp them up....perfect burger and fry dinner with less fat and calories....

PS i cut the recipe in half or a third to get 4 regular 6oz burgers

Laura's Lean burger patties are delicious & very low in calories and fat! get some fat free cheese singles & some light rolls & enjoy!!

Never heard of them... where do they sell them??

my local Shoprite has them so your grocer would probably have them too. They are right in the meat department, NOT the frozen food section !
