George Foreman’s Power Burger
A flavorful hamburger that we think tastes even better than its all-meat
cousin! It pays to eat meals that minimize meat. To reduce saturated fat
in a typical burger, you can cut back on the amount of meat and make up
for it with plant-based ingredients. Bread crumbs and chopped vegeta-
bles have been added in this recipe. You could also try cooked rice, other
grains or cereal. In addition, choose whole wheat buns; they typically
contain one less fat gram than regular or even reduced-calorie buns.
If you settle for nothing less than a cheeseburger, Swiss cheese is 1
gram lower in fat than Cheddar, American or Monterey Jack with 8
grams of fat versus 9 in each ounce of cheese. However, reduced fat
cheeses like Cheddar or Swiss contain half the fat with 4 grams per
ounce. Mustard contains 1 gram of fat per tablespoon versus a whop-
ping 11 grams of fat in a tablespoon of mayonnaise.
Top your burger in healthful style with dark, leafy green lettuce, shredded
cabbage, fresh cilantro, basil or spinach.
3/4 cup chopped vegetables such as yellow onions, 
green onions, zucchini, parsley (can be sautéed)
3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
2-1/4 lbs. lean ground beef
•In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine the vegetables and bread
crumbs. Add the ground beef and mix well.
•Shape the mixture into twelve 4-inch wide patties.
•Preheat the Grill on MED/HIGH for 8 minutes. 
•Place the patties on the Grill.
•Cover and cook 6-8 minutes. Turn and cook another 6-7 minutes or
until the meat is no longer pink and the juices run clear.
•Serves 12

George’s Sausage Texas Style
A spicy sausage with true Southwestern zip! These breakfast sausages
are great served with a sautéed vegetable or fresh salsa and scrambled
eggs. Buy 90% lean ground beef for the least-fat sausage. Ninety per-
cent lean beef has 9 grams of fat with 4 of those grams being saturated
fat; whereas 73% lean beef has 18 grams of fat with 7 of the grams being
saturated.

1 Tbsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

The Champ’s Sausage Without Guilt
Try this sizzling sausage patty that not only tastes good, but is also good
for you. Choose ground turkey breast, which is lower in fat than ground
turkey containing dark meat and skin. Turkey, especially the light meat, is
a good source of niacin, which is an important B vitamin needed to
maintain a healthy nervous system. Early symptoms of niacin deficiency
that appear in the nervous system are apprehension, irritability, depres-
sion, weakness, and loss of memory. To prevent niacin deficiency,
include plenty of lean turkey, fish, whole wheat, potatoes, corn flower,
eggs, broccoli, tomatoes, and carrots.
2 slightly beaten egg whites
2/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely snipped dried apples or 1 cup finely chopped fresh red 
Delicious apple
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
4 Tbsp. snipped fresh parsley
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. ground sage
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 lb. lean ground turkey breast
•In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except turkey.  Add the
ground turkey and mix well.
•Shape the mixture into sixteen to eighteen 2-inch wide patties.
•Preheat the Grill on MED for 8 minutes. 
•Place sausage on the Grill. Cover and cook for 6-7 minutes.Turn and
cook another 6-7 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink and the

Attaching Propane Gas Cylinder
1. Turn the Temperature Control Knob to
the LOCK/OFF Position. 
2. Push the one pound propane cylinder
slightly into the valve while turning
counterclockwise until a snug fit is
obtained. Do not turn the propane cylin-

Testing for Leaks
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
•Test all gas connections for leaks
before using your propane grill.
•Test for leaks every time you connect
the gas supply.
•Do not smoke while checking for leaks.
•DANGER - Do not use an open flame to
check for gas leaks. Be sure there are
no sparks or open flames in the area
while you check for leaks. This will
result in a fire or explosion which can
cause serious bodily injury or death,
and damage to property.
•Test for leaks outdoors in a well ventilated area.
1. Mix a couple tablespoons of liquid detergent with an equal amount of
water. Use mild soap and water. DO NOT USE HOUSEHOLD CLEANING
AGENTS.
2. Be sure that the Temperature Control Knob is in the LOCK/OFF position.
3. Use a clean paint brush to brush soapy solution onto connection
between gas cylinder and Regulator orifice, and watch for bubbles.
4. If bubbles form or if a bubble grows, there is a leak. Retighten connec-
tion and repeat steps (2) and (3).
NOTE:If you cannot stop a leak, remove gas cylinder and check for dam-
aged threads, dirt and debris at the connection and gas cylinder. Also check
to see if anything is obstructing flow of gas at the connection and gas cylin-
der openings. Remove any obstruction that may be found and repeat leak
test.
Checking the Ignitor:
•The Temperature Control Knob must be in the “LOCK/OFF” position.
Press the Ignitor button rapidly. A “CLICK” should be heard and spark
seen through Flame Viewing Hole.

that the food is done, use a meat thermometer. If the food is not quite done, continue to
