Turkey burgers will help satisfy that primal craving for meat<\/a> without weighing you down. Compared to beef, ground turkey breast has the same amount of protein<\/a> but half the saturated fat<\/a>. Plus, using an English muffin in place of a bun saves you some carbs<\/a>, too. In addition to the traditional lettuce and tomato, we like to top our patties with avocado for extra creaminess. Fire up the stove, it\u2019s burger o\u2019clock!<\/p>\n
