So, I get so tired of hearing people say they can't afford to eat healthy! GEESH! Okay now that I got that out of the way. . . . lol! So I have been doing tons or research on healthy eating habits. Comparing the prices of healthy vs. unhealthy. Recipes which can easily be substituted to be made a healthier choice! 

So I am starting a Sunday Savings Post! Every Sunday I will compare a healthy meal vs. the not so healthy choice. Talking recipes and prices!

 SO here we go!!!

This week it is

Turkey Burger and Fries vs Hamburger and Potato Chips

• Ground Turkey is cheaper then Ground beef! 1.99lb vs 2.99lb
• A 15 lb bag of potatoes is cheaper then a bag of potato chips!
• Ground Turkey has less fat and higher protein then Ground beef!

French Fries

The French Fries I make are simple! Russet potatoes cut and sliced into Fry sizes then placed on a cookie sheet. Spray lightly with Olive Oil. and sprinkle with garlic salt.

Then baked on a cookie sheet at 425 degrees. 10-15 minutes 

 

Turkey Burger

 Ingredients: 

Lean Ground Turkey

Green Onion

Italian Parsley

Worcestershire sauce

Mozzarella Cheese 1 slice for each burger (cut in quarters)

1 Lb of ground turkey will make 3-4 GOOD size burgers

For a LARGE Burger I do 6oz and for a Medium I do 4oz

I add  Green Onion, Italian Parsley and Worcestershire sauce  to taste!

Everyone is different! I personally love tons of green onions and Italian Parsley. Then I add just a couple splashes of Worcestershire Sauce.

Directions:

In a bowl, combine Ground Turkey, Green Onion, Italian parsley and Worcestershire sauce. Mix ingredients well.

Then separate out into serving sizes and roll in to a ball.

Take each ball and separate into 2 pieces 1 slightly larger then the other

Re roll each into ball then flatten each piece evenly. 

Place Cheese on larger half.

Then add smaller piece on top. Pinch edges together. 

Lightly roll together to hide the cheese and make it 1 piece again.

I bet you are wondering why I put the cheese inside the turkey! Well it is because it is amazing to bite into it and cheese comes gooing out! 

Oh and FYI Mozzarella cheese only has 50 Calories a slice compared to 110 Calories a slice in Cheddar Cheese!!!!

(Sorry if this is hard to follow, I know my directions skills are lacking !!)

 I use my George Foreman to cook my Turkey burgers but a BBQ works just as well. 

Using the George Foreman it only takes about 6 mins to cook!!! AMAZING!!!

 

When it is all done I wrap mine in a big piece of red or green leaf lettuce. 

However Ian likes his on a big fat burgerbun!!! LOL
