A better burger: Making everything from the bun to your toppings healthier



MILWAUKEE -- Love a good burger? What if we told you you could make it healthier without sacrificing the flavor? Heather Ferber of Better Health by Heather joins Real Milwaukee to help us make a better burger.

Turkey burgers are an excellent alternative to beef burgers. These burgers are a great way to sneak in some white beans which boost fiber, antioxidants, and amylase inhibitors which help control blood sugars, oxidative stress and weight gain, respectively. Eventually you can increase the beans even a bit more.
