These things are really good! I can post the fat and calories if anyone wants but I do know they only have 4 WW's points. I've never been a fan of ground turkey for burgers but these are a winner!

The trick is not to press them alot while cooking and cook them a little slower then a normal burger. This way they will stay juicy and not get the tough and chewy.

I'll look for them Christy. I have bought turkey burgers in the past but don't remember if they were Louis Ritch. As a note, a great savory additive is Liquid Smoke. We put it on lots of these type meats.

The turkey burgers at Ruby Tuesdays are really good as well.

You know Twinkle, I'm not too crazy about Liquid Smoke. But then again I'm not really crazy about smoked foods. Most of the time they don't agree with me and then I repeat them all night long! LOL!

I doctor mine up with garlic and black pepper, onion powder and ground red pepper. I like mine hot and spicy!

#4, good tasting? Yes. Good for you...NO! Sorry but most turkey burgers in restaurants are not any healthier than beef burgers. In fact, unless the burger is made from all white meat its is just as fatty (and sometimes more) as beef. Take a look at the nutritional info on just the plain turkey from Ruby's
