Team Bun or Bunless?

I love a good bun! In fact, I love all sorts of bread. I was able to get to my ideal weight, without EVER eliminating carbs. (read my weight loss story here).

But, I also love a good way to save on calories from one thing like a bun, and add them to other delicious toppings and condiments. And this turkey burger is no exception!

Instead of a bun, I used all sorts of veggies to flavor up the burger. I didn’t need anything to hold it together, cause I simply ate it with a fork. Why not? It was dinner at a table after all. Eating a burger doesn’t always have to mean you are on the go eating with your hands.

So, in making this Turkey burger, I wanted to think of some low calorie things to add as toppings, condiments, and seasonings! Check out the list below, and let me know what you would add! (for 10 gluten free dinner ideas, click here)
