Jennie-O Turkey Store's Turkey Burger Blends are made with not just white turkey but also black beans, whole-grain brown rice and pepitas. Each one of the hybrid burger patties with meat and plant-based protein has 15 grams of protein, as well as seven grams of fat and five grams of fiber.
Ryan Moorlag, brand manager at Jennie-O, says "We know that people are becoming increasingly interested in adding more plant-focused foods to their diets. Our new Turkey Burger Blends make it easy to marry plant-based ingredients with lean meats.”
These burgers appeal to flexitarians who are not quite ready to commit to 100% plant-based alternatives yet they still want to reduce their consumption of meat in favor of other options that are just as packed with protein.
