  1. do you use the peppers as a side or do you mix it with ground meat when you make the patties?

    1. @ Nichole,
      Mix with.

  2. I thought balsamic vineagar was ok….I have seen somewhere that all vinegar was ok. I have been using only balsamic on all of my salad……

    1. @ Hal,
      Most vinegars are fine. Some people have a hard time with balsamic vinegar because of the sugar content.

  3. Are the peppers and onions just sevred a s side dish to the burger or do they get cooked into the patties?

    1. @ Whitney,
      They are mixed into the burger.

  4. I have been making these burgers for over a year now! They are fabulous. My husband and I prefer them over any other burger. I used this recipe a few times but modified it to suit my needs. I will buy 2 containers of turkey (2.6 lbs total) at a time to make about 10 burgers, wrap individually in wax paper, and freeze.
    Mix 2.6 lbs of 93% ground turkey, 1 zuchinni chopped finely, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt & pepper, chipotle chili powder all to taste. Add the franks red hot buffalo sauce to the meat. Make into patties and freeze. Ready to grill whenever you want. 🙂 thanks for your recipe!

  5. I added the pepper and onion plus n egg and made these into meatballs and baked them, wrapped them in Boston lettuce! They were awesome!

  6. what kind of rice cakes can I have? There are many different kinds and flavors.

    1. @ Cindy,
      Plain rice cakes are acceptable as long as you are losing.

  7. Is this meal okay for the 10 day cleanse? I’m on day seven and would love to make this for dinner.

    1. @ Karl,
      Enjoy this. For best results, use Pam or only 1T of olive oil in nonstick pan.

  8. I though you were to avoid ground meat ?

    1. @ Rachael,
      Avoid beef, but ground chicken and turkey are fine.

      1. So, is that the case in both phases ?
        Also I noticed a lot of recipes call for veggies that aren’t on the grocery list, such as; onions, bell peppers are they ok ?
        Seafood ? Which face and your suggestions… Grilled shrimp ?
        One more question is whole wheat pasta considered an ok complex carb ?

        1. @ Rachael,
          Most veggies are good, and those are fine. Just need to limit where it says that – corn, potatoes, etc.
          Try the Salmon recipe – can be used for other fish. There is also a recipe for tilapia. Shrimp okay in moderation.
          No wheat on the cleanse. Complex carbs suggested are hummus, half a sweet potato, 1/2 cup brown rice. Only have 1.

  9. I thought we were supposed to avoid vinegar during the cleanse phase?

    1. @ Elaine,
      Vinegar is fine – just avoid balsamic because of sugar content.

  10. Can I use something other than zucchini ? I’m so lost with the food stuff

    1. @ Tori,
      You could use cucumber or yellow squash. Perhaps, pepper.

  11. i was just curious can you use ground chicken instead of turkey??

    1. @ Tina,
      That would be fine.

  12. I am on the cleanse and I love turkey burgers. I can not wait to
    Try these, they sound so good. Thank you for posting the recipe.

  13. […] Buffalo Wing Turkey Burgers* with veggies* […]

  14. Fried in olive oil? That’s ok?

    1. @ Rodd,
      Olive oil in small quantities is acceptable per plan, but on Deanne’s recipe, we would suggest using PAM or grilling.

  15. The Buffalo Turkey burgers are AWesome! A Definite must try. My husband mis-read the instructions and mixed the hot wing sauce in with the meat. It was pretty spicy, but really good. the smell was awesome too. maybe cut the hot wing sauce in half for a milder patty!

  16. can I have Venisen Jerkey or can I use buffalo wing sauce during the 10 day cleansing?

    1. @ Ron,
      It would depend on the ingredients. If there is sugar, or other substance we are trying to avoid, then not a good idea. Usually any jerky is way too high in sodium.

  17. What can my salad at lunch consist of? lettuce and chicken only? or can it have egg or cheese?

    1. @ Lindsey,
      Eggs are great. You can also use fish or other lean protein. Add some more vegetables, but skip the cheese.

  18. on day 1 of the challenge .. instructions with my box weren’t clear .. omegaplex .. when do i take this & how many total per day? thanks!

  21. Is decaf coffee ok on the cleanse?

    1. @ Christina,
      No coffee at all.

  22. Love it!!! Wil make again!!

  23. Can I have dairy after the ten day cleanse

    1. @ Michael,
      Limited – Greek yogurt would be okay. Stay away from cheese.

  24. Where can I find the nutritional information for these turkey burgers. BTW they are amazing!

    1. @ Sarah, glad you liked them. We don’t have the info here, but you could use a site like fitday.com to calculate.

  25. I know dairy is not advised during the cleanse. What about soy products like Silk which is dairy and lactose free?

    1. Soy is fine, just read the label to be sure no sugar or other things added.

  26. Can you season your food with salt on the 10 day cleanse?

    1. Salt is fine, just don’t overdo it.

  27. Somewhere I read when was the best time to take the omega pill then also th Calalist. But I can’t find it now. Please help! My instructor did not give specifics. And I am done with day one but did not take any of the pills other the clease ones before bed.

    1. @Liv,
      Take Omegas with a meal. I take mine at dinner. Catalyst is taken on empty stomach. I take 3 a half hour before breakfast and 3 a half hour before lunch.

  28. Can I have pasta while I’m doing the cleanse? I’m new at this so I’m not sure of what all I can eat or can’t eat while doing the cleanse.

    1. @Teresa,
      Here are the instructions https://bestnewhometips.com/program-instructions/

  29. We did the turkey burgers last night also and they were great. Im in the 10 day cleanse now. Im not a big salmon guy, so I will make chicken breasts for salads. Can we marinate the chicken in buffalo sauce?

    That turkey burger recipe called for franks red hot, can I use that on my chicken during the cleanse phase?

    Thanks

    1. Sure – just don'[t go crazy with it!

  30. Can I have these on the 10 day cleanse?

    1. Jennifer – yes you can!

    2. Yes Jennifer.

  31. Fixed these last night for supper and they were awesome. My 17 year old loved them! I went ahead and cooked them with the olive oil. My husband said this recipe was a keeper!

  32. Can you have the Buffalo Turkey Burgers on the 10 day cleansing? I thought you couldn’t have anything fried. Could you grill them instead?

    1. Grilling is a great idea. Let us know how they turn out!
