Trader Joes Lime Chicken Burgers

[lisah25 3]

I had one of these for dinner last night, it was GREAT!:hungry:

They come four to a box, in the frozen section. I thawed one out in the microwave, then cooked it in a non-stick skillet. Took less then 10 minutes total. I toasted a wheat english-muffin and used that for a bun, with a little light mayo and ginger spread(also from TJs). It was sooooo good, and a lot more juicy then I would have thought. It had a hint of citrus, and some heat but not a lot.

The nutritional info - each patty has 110 calories, 30 of them from fat. It has 3g fat, 1 of those is sat fat, no trans fat. 55mg of Cholesterol, 270mg of sodium. Total carbs of 4g, 1g of Fiber. And 15g of Protein. I don't have the ingredients here with me, but TJs is usually pretty good on what it puts in things.

This sounds right up my alley. YUM. What store did you buy it at?

Trader Joes. They are a fun grocery store we have in Washington state, and I think they are in some other states as well.

Welcome to Trader Joe's - Your Neighborhood Grocery Store

Central Markte is usually good for lots of great food, though. I have a Trader Joes, but want a Central Market, too.

I had discovered these a few weeks ago, they are gluten free and WONDERFUL. I don't even use a bun, I melt a slice of low fat cheese on one and top it with sliced Tomato or salsa, some FF Greek Strained Yogurt (better Protein than sour cream) and a couple slices of avocado. WOW! They're GREAT!

I've only been to Central Market a few times (I live near Detroit but used to visit Dallas fairly regularly), but was enthralled by their options for "health foods" and the really good food in their premade food counter. I love the choices for bulk nuts and veggie burgers and whole grain breads. I appreciated the excellent cuts of meat and the amazing variety of fresh fruits. I also loved to get the gelato as a treat at the gelato/sorbet counter.

thanks! i'll have to try some new things. i tend to get stuck in a rut and eat the same thing all the time. i have tried a few new 'carb friendly' recipes lately and they were pretty good ...
