We’ve all had our share of low calorie turkey burger recipes, but this one is one of my faves. Loaded with tang and flavor, this turkey burger recipe tastes much better than most, and yet still keeps the calorie count low. Ground turkey can be pretty bland, and there’s nothing more disappointing than a bland burger. And with just a 3 Point Total, this Ranch Turkey Burger reaches new heights of yumminess! Though this is not an official Weight Watchers Turkey Burger Recipe, it’s a low calorie, low fat burger that any meat-eating dieter will love. Try serving with some 1 Point Butternut Squash Fries!

This simple summer salad is probably one of my favorite salad recipes ever. I just adore the taste combination of sweet tomatoes and basil with the tang of balsamic vinegar and the creaminess of the mozzarella cheese. Plus, it’s an incredibly fast & easy dish to make, and it’s pretty diet friendly. It’s also a great way to get some vitamins, calcium and antioxidants into your diet! And each serving has just a 3 Point Total (5 Point Total for two servings). So, while you can’t go hog wild and eat the whole thing, it’s still a healthy, diet-friendly salad to enjoy in controlled portions. This tasty tomato, basil, and mozzarella salad makes a great healthy side dish recipe to serve along with a hearty sandwich or healthy grilled chicken. Though, it’s such a versatile recipe, you can really serve this with just about any meal. It also makes a great appetizer recipe!

Admittedly, I flippin’ love Pop Tarts. I know that they are not a good healthy breakfast food, but I just can’t help myself. I love the sweet icing, I love the fruit filling, and I can eat them anytime of the day. But the traditional, low-fat pop tarts have 4 Weight Watchers Points each. Not a tremendous amount of Points, but when you are getting pretty much zero nutritional value from it, is it really worth it? So when I found these yummy, high fiber pop tarts, I was super excited to share them! These babies have 5 grams of fiber per pop tart, so not only are you getting 20% of your Daily Value of fiber, but they actually fill you up a bit more because they are so high in fiber. And they taste AMAZING. The best part, is that they have only a 3 point value per serving, vs. 4 Points in the low fat pop tarts. So, what product am I talking about? Read on!!

Weight Watchers Crock Pot Recipes are my favorite recipes to make…they are SO easy and taste SO amazingly good. And they are low in Weight Watchers Points, so it helps keep me on track to reach my weight loss goals. This fabulously yummy Canadian Bacon and Potato Chowder Slow Cooker Recipe is a perfect addition to any Weight Watcher Meal Plan. With just 3 Points per serving and tons of fiber and protein, it’s very filling, so you won’t be so hungry a few hours later. What I like to do with these crock pot recipes is separate out the individual portions and freeze them, that way, when I need a meal really fast and am too lazy to make anything, I can easily reheat one of these servings for a quick and tasty meal. This particular dish tastes really good reheated because the flavor of the bacon just oozes into the creamy broth…mmmmm!! This Potato and Bacon Stew Recipe is really so delicious that the whole family will love it — and they’ll have no idea it’s a Weight Watchers Recipe! Enjoy.
