Turkey Burgers That ROCK!

 

By Alice Conradt
Many people are used to DRY pre-made Turkey burgers that have no flavor and are nothing to write home about! Well this recipe will make you revisit (and re-think) picking up a frozen bag of burgers again! By making your own homemade Turkey burgers, you will get more protein, more flavor and a great juicy turkey burger in less time than it takes to thaw those frozen patties out. Plus, no preservatives, processed grains and fillers! We left out the breadcrumbs and substituted egg whites to bind the burgers together.

Turkey Burgers That ROCK!

In this version, I serve it on a sandwich thin but my favorite way is to eat it as a lettuce wrap. Pile leaves of bibb or butter lettuce together to make a top and bottom “bun” and you will get additional veggies and extra crunch too!
I like to make extras and freeze the burgers after I cook them. They are easy to thaw and take for lunch or dinners in a pinch!
Turkey Burgers        (Serves 4)
  • 20oz Package lean ground turkey
  • 2 Cloves garlic – finely minced
  • ½ of a small yellow onion (finely diced)
  • 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ Tbsp Sriraccha (these will not be hot)
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 egg whites
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Take a small amount of mixture out and fry on griddle to make sure it is seasoned to your liking… taste. (I always do this before making the whole batch).
**Adjust seasoning if necessary. Divide mixture in 4 to make (4) 5oz patties. Fry on griddle until cooked through (approximately 6-7 minutes per side).
 Burger toppings:
  • 4 Oroweat Sandwich Thins (or) bibb/butter lettuce wraps
Bibb lettuce, tomato, onion slices, pickles and favorite condiments. (Be careful to limit your condiments to a few teaspoons, as they can add significant calories to your meal quickly).

Coconut Oil…Is It a Good Oil?-Reviewed by Cindy Reddemann

 

 This is a Great article by Mel Batterman! Coconut Oil... Is it A Good Oil! This is an informative article to help us understand what coconut oil can do for us. How it has positive effects on the body, brain function, and more. This is great information I would love to hear your thoughts...

 Coconut Oil…Is It a Good Oil?

By Mel Batterman

It seems daily I have people contacting me about my thoughts on coconut oil… Is it a good oil? I am sure that you have seen coconut oil be more prominent in nutrition articles and other nutritional information. You may have also seen in be incorporated into nutritional shake recipes and specific nutritional plans.
Since I get questions often and there is so much information flooding all aspects of media, I thought I should set a few things straight by providing some proper information.

Coconut Oil…Is It a Good Oil?

Coconut oil is one of the only oils that could be classified under the “Superfood” Category. Coconut oil has a unique combination of fatty acids, which have been found to have positive effects on the body, brain function, and more.
In the past coconut oil has been classified as not being a nutritionally sound food because it is 90% saturated fat. Recently studies have changed this thought process because these saturated fatty acids are so different from the standard saturated fats found in red meat, cheeses, and other high saturated fat foods.
The saturated fats in coconut oil are actually MCT’s (Medium Chain Triglycerides). Since they are medium versus long, like most other saturated fats the body processes and metabolizes this fat differently. Which means that when digested they go directly to the liver to be used at energy versus being processed just as a fat that could potentially cause artery clogging issues.
Knowing that coconut oil metabolizes into energy and may potentially increase your overall energy expenditure by 5% over a 24 hour period makes this oil a cut above the rest. Research has also suggested that this overall heightened energy expenditure may help the body burn off more stored fats both in the adipose tissue (external fat), as well as the visceral fat (internal fat).
Another interesting feature that has been found with coconut oil is that is seems to have a hunger depressant quality to it. In a recent study done of men consuming a teaspoon of coconut oil at breakfast per day over a fourteen day period, found that on average their consumption of calories decreased by 256 calories per day.
Both of these studies can be very promising when many nutritional plans are starting to implement coconut oil into the overall plan.
The truth is coconut oil can really provide some extra advantages when added appropriately to your nutritional plan, and is clearly a much better oil choice overall for cooking and consumption.
 These reasons and more is why you may see coconut oil in some of our Beachbody nutrition programs that are associated with some of our top fitness programs. A couple of examples of programs that you will see coconut oil in the nutrition plan is the 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix Extreme. In the 3-Day shred portion of the 21 day fix, coconut oil is consumed 4-5 times per day. In the 21 Day Fix Extreme Count Down to Competition you will see coconut oil as a part of the program daily.

Review of Beachbody’s 21 Day Fix Extreme Price - Reviewed by Cindy Reddemann

 

I wanted to SHARE this incredible article by Samantha Medina about The 21 Day Fix Extreme Pricing that is only $160. Compared to going to a gym and paying a membership for each additional fitness program you take. The 21 Day Fix Extreme is affordable and I don't even have to leave my house. I can work out any time I want. I would love to hear your thoughts after reading this article...


Review of Beachbody’s 21 Day Fix Extreme Price

By Samantha Medina
I have always been the type of person to want to reach my fitness goals, but never had a solid system to follow. Fitness is not just about going to the gym and lifting heavy weights. I tried the gym, personal trainers, fitness classes, but none of it worked for me. Money went down the drain while I was trying to keep up with all the payments. Also, this didn’t come with a personal nutritionist who told me what supplements and foods I should be eating. This is why I needed to find another method that was suitable for my budget, yet could provide me with both the nutritional guide and training I needed to have the body of my dreams.

Review of Beachbody’s 21 Day Fix Extreme Price 


I was introduced to 21 Day Fix a couple of months ago and immediately lost 14 pounds! It is a great home workout for beginners, comes with a nutrition plan for the 21 days, and is inexpensive. This program changed my life! I am more active than I’ve ever been before, I have more energy, and my eating habits transformed completely. I can truly say I am ready for the next level.
The 21 Day Fix Extreme is launching February 2nd!!! This program is for: 21 Day Fix graduates, both men and women. People who like and crave intensity, want to get shredded and toned, or are getting ready for a special event. This is perfect for going above and beyond in your health and fitness.
The 21 Day Fix Extreme price is only $160. The challenge pack comes with everything needed to achieve the best results in only 21 days. It includes:
  • 6 workout DVD’s with 1 bonus DVD and 2 deluxe workouts
  • 7 color-coded portion control containers
  • 1 month supply of Shakeology
  • Shakeology shaker cup
  • 21 Day Fix Extreme eating plan
  • Countdown to competition
  • Free Beachbody Coach support
The 21 Day Fix Extreme price is remarkable for all it includes. I was very surprised it was not more, because usually intense Beachbody programs like Insanity or P90X are $205 or more. As I mentioned before, I’ve tried personal trainers and spent hundreds of dollars. Now with the 21 Day Fix Extreme price being so affordable I have a personal trainer right at home! I also get an eating plan created for extreme workouts, and getting the toned body I’ve always wanted. The best part about it all is the free Beachbody Coach for online support. Staying motivated and accountable is hard to do on your own, but with the support from like-minded individuals, it pushes you to keep moving towards your fitness goal. I cannot wait to start my fitness journey with this program.
