Turkey Burgers on Whole Grain Waffles!


This is another super easy, ready in under 20 minutes, healthy meal. One of my Faux Comfort Foods!
Hamburgers are one of my favorite things in the world to eat. Suffice it to say that if for some odd and ridiculous reason I were tasked to choose a final meal...It would be Hamburger and Fries! 

This is a healthier option, unlike what might be chosen for a "final meal" burger. 
This Lean Ground Turkey and the Whole Grain Waffles make this a definite eat it anytime kind of burger. 

Here is how we did it. 

1/2 lb ground lean turkey (99% lean)
1/2 lb ground turkey (93% lean)
Mix these together just until incorporated 

2 tsp of Mrs. Dash original seasoning
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt and Pepper 
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 
Sharp cheddar cheese slices 

1. Mix turkey, Mrs. Dash and Worcestershire sauce

2. Form into 4 hamburger patties. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. 

3.  Cook on preheated nonstick pan with 1 tbsp of olive oil, turning once. About 4 minutes per side on medium high heat. 

Add a slice of cheese if you wish.

Serve on Vans 8 grain waffles (There are Gluten Free options as well!)
Toast the waffles according to package directions. 

Serve with a green salad.

Today's workout is a tough one. I suggest that if you are just beginning your workout routine watch them through once before attempting the exercises. This will help you to know what to expect.
The second workout link is a dumbbell workout.  You can do body weight only if you aren't ready to add weights.  Otherwise, use a weight according to your ability.

A warm-up and Cool-down are key to preventing injury. I have attached the warm-up and cool-down that I did today. Sun Salutations. They are great to get your body ready for a tough workout!

There will be three links today:
This is the order that I completed the workouts...It takes about 42 minutes. You will be glad you did this! I have been doing Melissa Bender workouts for a while. Paired with a healthy diet I believe you will see a difference!

Sun Salutation Warm-up
15 Minute Cardio and Sweat HIIT workout  (body weight only)
15 Minute Sculpted Body Home Workout (dumbbells)
Sun Salutation Cool-Down

We had a fun trip to San Antonio, but it is always nice to get back into a normal routine of eating well and working out. It is also nice for a certain goldendoodle to get back to his normal sleeping patterns.

This wasn't a very good position for Luke the Goldendoodle...
