March 24/Carpinteria, Cal./Food & Beverage Close-Up -- Carl's Jr. and Hardee's announced a new line of Charbroiled Turkey Burgers. The sister brands said they are the first fast-food chains to offer turkey burgers on a national basis.
The new line of Charbroiled Turkey Burgers was created in collaboration with the editors of Men's Health and the creators of the bestselling Eat This, Not That! brand to offer indulgent but better-for-you food "swaps" for some of the chains' higher-calorie beef burger options. Each of the three Charbroiled Turkey Burgers being offered at both chains has less than 500 calories.
