Eating clean – especially “competition-prep” clean – can get very boring and repetitive. When that happens, we are more likely to start thinking about all the different ways we can cheat on our diets. So it really helps to be able to mix things up while managing to say on your diet. This recipe for a low-carb, low-fat turkey burger does exactly that! I ate it myself after this video, so I can vouch for the fact that it is contest-prep friendly 🙂

This looks so delicious. One question. I HATE mustard, which can it be replaced with?
Maybe salsa or nothing at all?
hot sauce
a little mashed avocado
small amount of avocado mixed with face 0% plain greek yogurt
Looks lovely thanks for sharing.
Do you still have peppers in your meals during your prep? I know in your previous ‘day in the life’ video you mentioned you enjoy them 🙂
Sometimes 🙂 Lately I have been eating a lot of cucumbers.
Never seen mushrooms that big. Definitely a great cheat clean option! Nice!
🙁 I can’t stomach a mushroom. Any thing I could switch that with?
what I like to do is wrap the burger in lettuce – I hate mushrooms too & lettuce has less carbs than a mushroom does.

Great Idea thank you!!!
Lettuce
Yum, can’t wait to try this. Where did you get your shirt??? I love that!
I loved !! thank you
Love portobello mushrooms !! I will try this burger this week on BBQ 🙂 thanks for sharing
Thats an awesome recipe, I tried this recently myself and loved it. I am in comp prep as well and its perfect! Plus another bonus of eating mushrooms is that they actually can help with bloating and water retention 🙂
Glad you liked it!

Hi! TGIF!
I LOOOOOVE the entire outfit from the pic you posted today on IG. The dark grey long sleeve top with the thumbholes, purple sports bra and purple pants. Will you please share?? Are they from your clothing line? OMGosh I love em!
It was all by Nike
I have used mushrooms as a bun for a while but have never taken the gills out, great tip I will have to try to stop them going soggy.
thanks
Jo
Burger tastes great! Thanks for the recipe.
Glad you liked it!
Making these tonight. Thank you!
Great ideas. Tks
Do you ever cut out pam as the show gets closer? Also, I’ve found that making the patties flatter helps them cook faster and retain more juices, otherwise they get super thick as they cook, if you haven’t tried that before! 🙂
I use pam sparingly so no, I don’t cut it out. I will try to flatten them next time. Thank you!
GREAT!! NICOLE WILKINS TURKEY BURGERS ……. IT’S WHAT’S FOR DINNER! Bon Appetit!
Great recipe, I used ground chicken breast, added chopped apples and fat free feta. Not contest prep friendly but still very clean and my wife and daughters loved them! Forgot how much I love portobellos!!
Thanks!
I’m so excited to try this!!!
Thanks so much for this recipe. I like the idea of filling the caps! Im getting bored with my contest prep, going to ask my coach if we can incorporate these!!!
Good afternoon,
will the mushroom burger hold for a day or two? if i wanted to meal prep and have one for dinner and one for lunch, would the mushroom hold up?
thanks,
Elizabeth
I am not really sure- it may get a bit soggy…
Looks delicious, Nicole!
