Asian–Style Turkey Burgers – Recipe
Thanksgiving is almost here. You love turkey, but this year you want to keep it low key, so I have just the right recipe for you….ASIAN-STYLE TURKEY BURGERS!!!!
I am not very fond of turkey myself, but I do prepare a big Thanksgiving Feast for my family.
These Asian-Style Turkey Burgers are great, if you are opting out of cooking up a storm for Thanksgiving! They are easy to prepare, moist and flavorful, and only about 280 calories per serving. How can you beat that!
I serve them on a 100 calorie Multi-Grain Sandwich Thins, made by Arnold.
You can add some of your favorite trimmings, and celebrate Thanksgiving on a lite side.

Notes
Just for fun, I checked on the calories in some fast food chicken sandwiches, as I have not noticed turkey on their menu yet, and found out that these range from 360 - 660 calories per sandwich...ouch!
