CHEW THE RIGHT THING



BITE IT!

HG's Too-Beautiful Turkey Burger



Gobble-y Good!

We gotta give it up to Ruby T for inspiring this tasty swap. A big fat turkey

burger topped with mushrooms and Swiss cheese sure sounds good to us.

But one look at the freakish nutritionals on Ruby's version sent us right to the

kitchen to develop a guilt-free makeover. Prepare to have your socks

rocked, people!



Ingredients:

1 small light hamburger bun (with around 80 calories and at least 3g fiber)**

1 plain lean turkey burger patty (like one by Foster Farms, Jennie-O, or

Perdue)

1 slice 2% milk Swiss cheese

1/2 cup sliced baby bella mushrooms

2 small lettuce leaves

2 tomato slices

Optional: pickles, ketchup and mustard



Directions:

Split bun in half, and toast lightly. Place the lettuce and tomato slices on the

bottom half of the bun. If you like, add a few pickle chips, a squirt of

ketchup, and/or some mustard. Set aside. Cook turkey patty in a pan

sprayed with nonstick spray (refer to packaging for specific time and stove

heat). Once cooked, remove patty from the pan, add it to the bottom half of

the bun, and top it with the slice of Swiss while the burger is still hot. Remove

the pan from heat and re-spray it with nonstick spray. Over medium heat,

cook the mushroom slices until tender (about 3 minutes), stirring

occasionally. Place the mushrooms over the cheese-topped patty. Top with

the other half of the bun and enjoy!



**Wonder Light and Nature's Own Double Fiber Wheat buns are great light

buns. But if you can't find a light bun, just use 2 slices of high-fiber light

bread instead (see HG's supermarket list for our faves)!

FIGHT IT!

Ruby Tuesday's Bella Turkey Burger



Ciao, Bella!

Tsk, tsk, Ruby Tuesday. A turkey burger is supposed to be a GOOD choice

when eating out. But that freakish fowl offering of yours is one of the worst

items on your menu, nutritionally speaking! Over a thousand calories and

more than SIXTY grams of fat?!? Ludicrous! Even scarier? Those stats don't

include the fries that come with this fat-infused turkey burger. Factor those

in, and you're looking at a completely embarrassing total of 1,424 calories

and 78g fat (POINTS® value 34*)! Sheesh... even with a serving of HG's

Bake-tastic Butternut Squash Fries, our swap would only cost you 370

calories and 11.5g fat. So stay far, far away from Ruby's crazy creation, and

instead get turkey-happy and gobble up HG's Too-Beautiful Turkey Burger!
