Blissful Bites: Trader Joe's Turkey Burgers

Well, Trader Joe's has done it again. They've managed to come up with a healthy, easy to prepare natural food item for an affordable price. 

What is it? Trader Joe's Turkey Burgers.

How does it come? Frozen, with 4 raw burgers per box.

How do you cook it?  Outdoor Grill, Indoor Grill, Stovetop, Conventional oven, or Toaster oven

Ingredients? Turkey, Kosher Salt, and Rosemary Extract. That's it. No pink slime, no growth hormones, no artificial flavors, no artificial colors, and no additives here.

How many Calories per burger? 180.

How many grams of Total Fat per burger? 10g.

Saturated Fat? 2.5g.

Trans Fat? 0g.

Protein? 22g.

Sodium? 280mg. This is a bit high, but take note that these burgers have no artificial preservatives, so this salt is replacing those as a natural preserving agent.

Other benefits? No GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms), a little Iron and Calcium per serving, and overall a great tasting healthy option. Taste-wise, I find Turkey Burgers to be a hit or miss, and this one is definitely a hit.

Best Paired with? Trader Joe's Sliced Sharp Cheddar Cheese. Also great wrapped in lettuce instead of on bread for a lighter option.


Price: At my local Trader Joe's, a box of these 4 delicious Turkey Burgers is sold for only $2.99! That's only $0.75 per burger! Different locations may have different pricing.
