Today’s Menu: Bacon and Cheese Turkey Burger w/ Baked Fries

For Breakfast this Monday morning I heated up the leftover Diced Potatoes and Diced Ham from yesterday’s Breakfast. The heavy rain we’ve had for the past day or so has finally stopped! Not a bad day out there today, sunny and 62 degrees. After I ate I went and picked up Breakfast for Mom from McDonald’s. She went on to Church afterward. I headed off to Walmart for a few things. Back home I did a load of laundry and then after Lunch watched NFL Football for the rest of the afternoon. For Dinner tonight its a Bacon and Cheese Turkey Burger w/ Baked Fries.

I had the Honeysuckle White Lightly Seasoned Turkey Pattie in the freezer so I grabbed one and let it thaw overnight in the fridge. They are 1/4 lb. patties (4 to a package) and 170 calories per burger. For the Bacon I’m using the Kroger Simple Truth Turkey Bacon. It fries or bakes up real easy and has excellent taste. I fried the Bacon and set it aside until I needed it.

Then to prepare the Turkey Burger, I’m using a medium size skillet that I sprayed with Pam Non Stick Cooking Spray and added a tablespoon of Extra Light Olive Oil. Heated the skillet on medium. When the skillet was ready I added the Turkey Burger. I fried it about 6 minutes per side. After flipping the Burger I topped it with a slice of Kraft Deluxe Sharp Cheddar with about 1 minute of cooking time left. I served the Burger on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Hamburger Bun. Topped the Turkey Burger with some Heinz 57 Sauce and the Turkey Bacon. The Burger fried up great and the toppings all worked well together.

For a side I baked some Alexia Organic Yukon Select Fries. Seasoned them with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn Medley. Baked them at 425 degrees for 16 minutes. They bake up beautifully and seasoned just right, excellent Shoestring Fry! Plus they are only 120 calories and 15 net carbs. For dessert later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn with a Coke Zero to drink.

Honeysuckle White Lightly Seasoned Ground Turkey Patties
Our seasoned turkey patties are great for a last minute barbecue or quick dinner. They’re lightly seasoned for great taste, ready for the grill or stove.

Today’s Menu: Bacon and Cheese Buffalo Burger w/ Baked Fries

No Breakfast this morning, but had Brunch. Mom slept late and I went and got us both Panera Breakfast Sandwiches. I also had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Beautiful Fall day out there today! Sunny and a high of 68 degrees. Got the leaf blower out and cleaned off the deck and driveway areas. Then got the cart out of the shed and got some yard work done then when done took a spin around the neighborhood. For Dinner tonight I prepared a Bacon and Cheese Buffalo Burger w/ Baked Fries.

I just love these Buffalo Burgers! I made this one combining my two favorites, Wild idea Buffalo and Jennie – O Turkey! I used Jennie – O Turkey Bacon for my Burger topping. Heated up a medium size skillet on medium high heat and fried the Bacon until it was crisp. Removed it from the skillet to a Paper Towel lined plate, and set aside. Always remember when frying Bacon use Bacon Math. Just decide how many slices you’ll need and double it. Because, at least when I fry Bacon, you end up eating as much as you fix as you’re preparing it!

For the Buffalo Burger I used my favorite, the Wild Idea Buffalo 1/3-Lb Buffalo Burgers as usual. Their meaty, juicy and just flat out delicious! Preheated up a small skillet that I sprayed with Pam Non Stick Cooking Spray, seasoned my Burger with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley. I then pan fried it, in Extra Light Olive Oil, about 3 1/2 minutes per side. After flipping the Burger I added a slice of Kraft Deluxe Sharp Cheddar Cheese, with about 1 minute of cooking time left. Topped it with the Turkey Bacon and served it on a Aunt Millie’s Reduced Calorie Hamburger Bun. I love a good Buffalo Burger!

To go with my Burger I baked some Alexia Organic Yukon Select Fries. Seasoned them with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley. Baked them at 425 degrees for 16 minutes. They bake up beautifully and seasoned just right, excellent Fry! Plus they are only 120 calories and 15 net carbs. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Diet Peach Snapple to drink.

Wild Idea Buffalo 1/3-Lb Buffalo Burgers

Prepare for a whole new level of burger. Conveniently pre-made into one-third pound patties that are ever so grillable. Dinner ready. Each pack is 1 pound with 3 – 1/3 Lb patties.

Today’s Menu: Chicken Bacon, Mushrooms, and Cheddar Turkey Burger w/ Baked Fries

For Breakfast this morning I Scrambled an Egg, toasted a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin, and had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. 78 degrees and rain showers out today. Had a very restless night and bad morning, allergies are running wild! So I couldn’t do a lot outside so I caught up on some rest, or tried. For Dinner tonight its a Chicken Bacon, Mushrooms, and Cheddar Turkey Burger w/ Baked Fries.

I hadn’t had a Turkey Burger in a while so today it’s a Chicken Bacon, Mushrooms, and Cheddar Turkey Burger. To make this Burger I’ll need; Jennie – O Turkey 93% Lean Patties, al fresco Uncured Chicken Bacon, Mushrooms, Kraft Deli Deluxe Sharp Cheddar, Aunt Millie’s Reduced Calorie Whole Grain Hamburger Buns, Pam Non-Stick Cooking Spray, and Extra Light Olive Oil.

To prepare the Burger I grabbed a skillet sprayed it the Pam and added 2 teaspoons of Extra Light Olive Oil, heated it on medium heat. When ready I added the Turkey Burger and cooked it for 16 minutes flipping it several times. With a minute of cooking time left I added a slice of Kraft Deli Deluxe Sharp Cheddar Cheese. And done! As the Burger was cooking, in another skillet, I sauteed my Mushrooms. Sauteed them in Olive Oil, Butter, and seasoned them with Morton’s Light Salt, Ground Cumin, and Parsley. Set both the Burger and Mushrooms off the heat until needed.

As the Burger was finishing I got another skillet and sprayed it with Pam Non Stick Cooking Spray and heating it on medium heat. For the Bacon I’m using al fresco Uncured Chicken Bacon. It fries up perfect with an excellent taste. I buy it at Meijer, it’s the only store I’ve found to carry it. I need to 2 slices but fried up 5 slices. Always remember when frying Bacon use Bacon Math. Just decide how many slices you’ll need and double it or so. Because, at least when I fry Bacon, you end up eating as much as you fix as you’re preparing it!

I served the Turkey Burger on a Aunt Milli’s Reduced Calorie Whole Grain Hamburger Bun. Topped the Burger Patty with Chicken Bacon and Mushrooms. Another excellent Burger. The Jennie – O Turkey Burger fries up perfect and has such a fresh taste and the Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Mushrooms, and Chicken Bacon added great taste and flavor.

Jennie – O Lean Turkey Burger Patties

Fire up the grill for some delicious, nutritious JENNIE-O Lean Turkey Burger Patties.

About
This traditional, end-of-summer event began more than 40 years ago when WEBN treated the tri-state to a fireworks show in honor of the radio station’s 10th anniversary. The party, held annually at Sawyer Point on Sunday of Labor Day weekend, has grown into an all-day affair with music, food and family fun and entertainment all day. On both sides of the river, nearly a half-million people view the choreographed Rozzi’s Fireworks show while listening to the soundtrack on WEBN (102.7 FM) starting just after 9pm and lasting for about 30 minutes.
