Metabolic Cooking Recipe: Asian Turkey Burger
Written on May 1, 2013 at 7:18 am, by Eric Cressey
As I’ve written in previous blog posts, I’m a big fan of Metabolic Cooking, a healthy cookbook that offers recipes for 249 healthy food options, many of which my wife and I cook on a regular basis. This week, the authors, Dave Ruel and Karine Losier, have put the resource on sale for more than 50% off. And, more specific to today’s post, they told me it’d be cool to post a sample recipe for those who may be interested in learning more about what to expect from this cookbook.
Recipe: Asian Turkey Burger
Makes 3 Servings (3 Burgers)
Ingredients:
• 1 pound ground turkey

Hey Eric,
You’ve also feature the anabolic cooking on here a decent amount as well. I thought I read somewhere that you found they were pretty interchangeable. Do you find most of the recipes can apply to people’s goals be it building muscle or leaning out? I’ve really enjoyed the protein bar recipe you shared and wasn’t sure if those are the type of things that show up in metabolic cooking as well.
Thanks,

It’s amazing there’s only 184 calories in a burger like this. Is that because turkey is so lean, and has fewer calories ?

Hi Adam,
They’re definitely very interchangeable. Having both just gives you a bit more variety.
