Backyard barbecue staples are gaining new iterations.
Diestel Family Ranch is debuting Ultimate Turkey Burgers with Uncured Bacon. The frozen patties combine turkey with Pederson’s Natural Farms’ no sugar, nitrate- and nitrite-free pork bacon. Each burger contains 220 calories, 20 grams of protein and 15 grams of fat.
“While others in the industry are making non-meat protein patties, we’re doubling down on what we do best,” said Heidi Diestel, turkey farmer. “I tell everybody that Diestel Family Ranch has a blended burger now — no, it’s not part sweet potato, those are for fries. It’s pork, and it’s turkey, and damn, it’s delicious.”

It’s high in fat, low in carb, and consists of only the purest ingredients. The inspiration behind the seasonal Key Lime Cashew comes from my family’s love of vacationing down in the Florida Keys.”
