All these suggestions are great if you are cooking at home, but I've got to endulge in a professionally constructed burger sometimes. So I make it a rare therefore occasional treat – about once every other paycheck. It's just got to be full-fleged and a real "contender" sometimes. This sates the craving and completes the soul's needs enough to resist the "light-weight" replacements.

Kim, the peanut butter thing sounds just strange enough to be good! LOL I’m trying it with the next burgers! Thanks! (Reduced fat PB of course)

I buy the 90/10 Beef Patties already made, 4 oz. each (quarter pounders) for 5 ww points. Grill them with some Ranch Dressing/dry, pepper & then top with some low fat sharp cheddar. Place between Arnolds Sandwich thins for an awesome, huge and flavorful burger that will kill any “red meat” craving! Total points for entire thing 7! Of course adding some onion (sweet vidalia when in season is my fave) and tomato and lettuce helps get in those veggies!

the turkey meat is healthy if you only use the white part of the turkey otherwise it is the same as using ground beef

I use ground sirloin when making burgers. Instead of a roll I use whole wheat Pita bread. My family enjoys it this way and it isn’t as heavy using pita instead of rolls.

I must say that’s a curiously interesting idea about adding a dollop of peanut butter to your burger. I have heard of people combining peanut butter and bacon before.

I agree that if you eat a healthy diet and exercise, splurging on a good burger is OK! When I was growing up in Ohio my parents would sometimes take us to a drive in restaurant that was famous for peanut burgers. Just before you lay on that slice of cheese, place a small amount of peanut butter on the burger and let it melt into the meat. It may sound strange, but it is delicious! That was over 40 years ago and this restaurant is still serving their unusual specialty.

I’ll admit these aren’t the same as big, juicy beef burgers, but I love grilled portobellas or black bean burgers as light alternatives. They can be dressed as regular burgers and are super healthy and satisfying.
