Show of hands, which of you have ever been to McDonalds? Now, which of you have been to McDonalds in the last week? Some of you just lied and the rest of us forgive you. No one wants to get caught under the arches but we have all snuck a fry or secretly hoped our toddler didn’t finish their happy meal. It happens. Now what do we do about it?
I have seen several versions of the Big Mac Replacement meal floating around the Internet…some with a puffed pastry, some in a salad, I decided to go the easy route and use things I always have. And it did not disappoint.
The Mac Attack – 10 Weight Watchers Points Plus
Ingredients:
- 1 Jennie-O Turkey Burger (cooked per product instructions)
- 1 slice Velveeta American Cheese
- 2 tbsp Fat Free Thousand Island Dressing
- 1 tbsp pickle relish
- 1 Trader Joe’s Original Pita
- 1/2 cup shredded Romaine Lettuce
Cook turkey burger according to package instructions. While the turkey burger is cooking, mix the dressing and pickle relish in a small bowl. Place the pita on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the dressing relish mix on top of pita, add turkey burger, top with the slice of cheese and place in oven on broil for three minutes or until cheese starts to bubble. Add lettuce and a dollap of dressing relish mix.
This is a really simple and very satisfying substitute and I didn’t even have to get redressed to go visit with a teenager at the drive-thru. If you have made another version please share!
