Butterball Turkey Burgers: Mix it Up!

August 22, 2012 By Lena

If you missed our Butterball Canada #SchoolLunchIdeas Twitter Party last night – you missed a ton of great tips and tricks for making delicious packed lunches. But don’t fear! You can always tweet @Butterball_CA if you’re looking for fresh ideas that are quick on time – and easy on the waistline.

(BTW, they also happen to have an awesome “Mix it Up!” Contest happening right now on Facebook – simply submit your child’s favourite lunch ideas – and recipe – using Butterball products, and you’ll be entered to win $500 in Butterball gift certificates. That’s a whole lotta turkey!)

Now you may remember my recent post “Because Every Night is a Special Occasion”. In it, I featured Butterball Lean Turkey Burgers that my family simply adored (when Reid asks for seconds, I know it’s good!).

The thing is, the burgers come in a package of 6, and since there are four of us, I was hanging on to two lonely burgers for the longest time. At first I thought I would simply grill up the burgers for the two little guys, or heck – just go buy another pack – but then inspiration struck. Reading the ingredients on the box, I realized that the Lean Turkey Burgers were pretty much ground Butterball turkey shaped into patties. Since the meat was uncooked, and had no fillers or by-products, I concluded that I could easily incorporate the burgers into my favourite chili recipe! And, since I’d be swapping ground beef for ground turkey, I’d be saving over 50% of the fat and calories!…

Because Every Night is a Special Occasion: Butterball

July 25, 2012 By Lena

It is late in the evening.  The dishes are done; the children are in bed, I’m pleasantly full and quite willing to sit back and relax after cooking a very special turkey dinner for my loving family.

What’s the occasion? Well, there isn’t one. Turkey on a weeknight? You bet. And it isn’t even Thanksgiving or Christmas! Nope, not since I last checked. So what gives? 

Tonight, we dined on delicious Butterball Lean Turkey Burgers that were ready in less than 15 minutes. They were seasoned perfectly, exceptionally lean, the kids gobbled them up and there was virtually no clean up. Now that’s the special occasion.

I know I don’t have to introduce Butterball Canada to you. Chances are, their turkeys have made it to your dining table time and time again. But in addition to their tender, juicy and always delicious whole turkeys, I LOVE that they offer simple, year round meal solutions such as turkey burgers, franks, bacon-style turkey and more. We always make it a point to incorporate lean white meat products into our weekly menus, and with so many delicious options to choose from, Butterball makes it incredibly easy….
