I am always on the lookout for a good burger recipe. I’ve been pretty hooked on adding veggie purees and other ingredients in my burgers since discovering Jessica Seinfeld’s “Deceptively Delicious” book.
Besides being healthy, burgers are also a quick, easy meal. And since I buy turkey meat in bulk at Costco, they are also super cost-effective.
I came across this pizza burger recipe on Pointlessmeals.blogspot.com, and was intrigued. We like to eat a lot of Weight Watchers meals in our house (excellent portion control and healthy ingredients), so I also loved that these burgers were only 8 points +.
I pretty much followed the recipe as given on the original site, with a few changes:
- I used ground turkey instead of ground beef
- I added extra cheese on top of the burger (’cause I love me some cheese)
- I put a few turkey pepperonis on top of the cheese inside the burger (what’s a pizza without pepperoni?)
This burger was YUMMY. I loved that the patty was stuffed, which I honestly have never done before. I also loved covering it in marinara sauce… if you like spicy, add some red pepper flakes to your sauce.
Try it out if you need a new burger recipe; you won’t be disappointed. Get the full recipe on Point-less Meals
