Carl's Jr Burger Make-Over

Have you seen the Carl's Jr commercials that make it seem like eating their food will give you a supermodel body? Those are ridiculous!! They put a girl in a bikini on the beach, eating a greasy burger...she looks amazing and she makes the burger look good, too.

I must admit... I actually like Carl's Jr and they do have some "healthier" options... but it can always be better.

Tonight, I made a healthy version of the Carl's Jr Teriyaki Burger. Their burger has 630 calories & 29 grams of fat! Mine has under 300 & 5 grams of fat... AND it's super easy. Instead of cheating with calories... I cheated with the cooking - by using frozen patties ;-/ Now, before you judge me ... let me tell you, they were all natural, lean turkey patties. I keep some frozen items like this on hand for busy days like today ;-)

So, here's the recipe...

WHAT YOU NEED:
makes 1 serving
1 all-natural, lean turkey patty (or fresh lean, ground turkey to make your own)
1 thin slice of fresh pineapple
spinach, jalapenos, ketchup, mustard

HOW TO:
Fire up the grill (or George Foreman for another 'cheat'). Grill the burger and pineapple ring. Ta-Dah... that's about it. I put my burger on a bed of spinach, tomato slices, avocado & added some jalapenos. I also grilled up some sweet potato slices to mimic healthy fries ;-) deeelish!
