Making burgers with ground turkey has never turned out that great for me until these Weight Watchers Grilled Asian Turkey Burgers. Ground turkey can be DRY and really boring. When I am trying to eat healthier and watch my points, I eat a lot of ground turkey. When I use it in soups and casseroles, it is fine. WOW….this is an amazing Weight Watchers recipe.
Weight Watchers Grilled Asian Turkey Burgers
I think the hoisin sauce
I was worried that using the 99% fat-free turkey would make the recipe too dry…but with the other ingredients it worked perfectly.
How to Make Weight Watchers Grilled Asian Turkey Burgers
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix until well combined. I like to use my stand mixer
Shape the mixture into 4 equal round patties. It will be eight patties if you double the recipe as I do!
Grill the patties on one side for approximately 8 minutes, then flip and grill for about 5 minutes. This is how long it took mine to grill…but grilling times vary a LOT. Just make sure the meat is cooked all the way through.
If you don't have an outdoor grill
Eat the burger plain without a bun, or throw it onto a light, whole wheat bun.
You can add some veggies to the burger for zero points!
This Asian Turkey Patty is Only 2 Freestyle SmartPoints
It is hard to believe that this delicious and filling Grilled Asian Turkey Patty is only 2 myWW points for the Blue and Purple plans if eaten without a bun. It is four myWW points for the Green plan.
Personally, I prefer to eat my burgers with a bun. If you can find a light, whole wheat bun, it may be as low as 2 points. A lot of buns are 3-5 points. Just calculate how much the bun is and add it to the 2 myWW points for the patty.
On the current Weight Watchers Program (2023), it is 4 points per turkey patty. Add the points for the bun!
Don't forget to add any condiments like ketchup, mayo, etc. Those count too! Forgetting to count those is a good way to fail at Weight Watchers!
