Just in time for Thanksgiving, Quorn<\/a> foods, which creates a line of\u00a0meatless products, has come out with a new Turk’y Burger that has 50 percent less fat than a\u00a0traditional turkey burger<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rather than using soy, wheat gluten\u00a0or textured vegetable protein like many vegetarian products, Quorn\u00a0relies on\u00a0a mycoprotein-based ingredient that contains less fat, fewer calories and more fiber than meat. In addition, it contains nine essential amino acids making it a powerful source of protein for vegetarians<\/a> or for those who are trying to reduce their intake of meat.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

DietsInReview.com was one of the first to try the new Turk’y Burger, thanks to a preview package Quorn sent us last week. Each Turk’y Burger contains 90 calories, four grams of fat, ten grams of protein and two grams of fiber.<\/p>\n

As a flexitarian<\/a> myself, and a big Quorn fan, I thoroughly enjoyed the new Quorn Turk’y Burger. It tasted similar to their Naked Chik’n Cutlet but it had more flavor. Since I haven’t eaten a turkey burger in over ten years, I can’t in good conscience compare Quorn’s Turk’y Burger to its meat-based counterpart, but I can offer these tips: If you bake or grill your Quorn burger, splash it\u00a0with a bit of olive oil or a few sprays of non-stick cooking spray (on both sides). Its low fat content makes it more prone to drying out.\u00a0Also, a quick schmear of ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard or any combination of your favorite sandwich condiment goes a long way to enhance the burger experience of this meatless chow.<\/p>\n

Look for Quorn’s Turk’y Burger in the freezer case of the natural food selection of grocery stores nationwide.<\/p>\n
