Home made fast food burger cheap.

Almost had a heart attack when I saw the price of fast food lately. I decided not only make a meal cheaper, but a bit healthier. You get a delicious burger and a mountain of popcorn on the side that will have you begging for more. Cost of a quart pound burger (before cooking) is less than half a dollar or so and the popcorn was just pennies.

Also look at my Mcmuffin clone instructable: http://www.instructables.com/id/Biscuits-to-mcmuffins/

Note: for some reason parts of my instructables are turning up missing and I am having to go back and redo them. Apologise for any issues.

Step 1 What's needed:

Per burger:
2 - slices bread
1 - slice of cheese of your choice
1 - slab slice of onion
1 - portion salad
1 - quarter pound of uncooked ground turkey.
condiments: such as mayo, mustard, catsup, or etc.

Popcorn:
2/3 cup un-popped kernels enough to cover the bottom of a large pot.
Cooking oil.
Spaghetti sauce for later after the popcorn is popped. To be used like catsup.

Is the turkey-derivative really that pink?

That's the way it came out of the package. Unless HEB did something funny with it, I would say so. The poor lighting may have had something to do with it.

McDonalds, Burger King, and the rest are so expensive. This instructable is going on our menu today.
