  • I used to work there. just the plain veggie salad with a light dressing, such as light itallian, fat free honey mustard, but next in line for low cal would be turkey, which is 3 slices of the turkey breast meat on top of the salad sliced up. 3rd for low calorie is the oven roasted chicken breast on top of the salad. Also…

  • Ok, so it's not beef, but I love turkey burgers. But they are so very dry when made homemade. I found a recipe on Skinnytaste.com search -: turkey zuchini burger. It's basically grated zuchini mixed into the meat. Zuchini is full of moisture. Makes it very moist & cuts calories per burger. I'm sure you could add zuchini to…
