90/10 grass fed beef. I put some gluten free bread crumbs (rice crumbs?) gf BBQ sauce, an egg, garlic, parsley and S&P to taste. Burgers are awesome, we make them so often we have a professional quality burger press from my hubby's old butcher shop. I will sometimes sautee onions and shredded zucchini and add them to the mix also.0

I buy premium mince, shape into patties, put them in the pan and sprinkle salt and pepper on top to season. We serve them on an open ciabatta bun topped with loads of salad on both sides of the bun. They take about five minutes to throw together including cooking the patties.0

Ever since I finally bought some 80/20 grass fed beef I fell in love. Just a little salt and pepper. I used to get the cheap 80/20 at Trader Joe's and that was a sticky mess by the time I finished making 1 patty and just doesn't compare.0

Turkey burgers or ground turkey.
Go a step further with Josephs tomato basil flax lavish bread. 1 sheet is 100 calories. Cut into quarters and you have a 50 calorie hamburger bun that is pretty darn good.
For those of you counting that's a 200 calorie burger (before condiments).0 -
I use veggie patties or salmon patties, which cuts down alot of the calories(and with the salmon option there is still protein).
If I buy frozen salmon patties, I burn the **** out of them to get some level of chewy/crunchiness because they tend to be mushy.
Also like half a tomato sliced up in there, and just a little ketchup. I don't skimp on cheese, because it's the best part. Whole fat cheese.
Sliced wheat bread instead of buns because It's more likely to already be in my kitchen my boyfriend freezes hamburger buns when he buys them, and I can't figure out how to thaw them without them being soggy0 -
I usually use the extra lean beef but will vary now and then with lean chicken or turkey although everyone tells me turkey burgers are too dry so I very rarely do them. I just found today some ground lamb, very curious to try that out! Anyway, I've grown used to having only the patties without buns and for the most part only eat them with a little bit of honey dijon mustard and a pickle on the side.0

Why are hamburgers called hamburgers when they don't contain any ham?

Meh, I cook all the time so if I want a "healthy" burger, I go to Nation's or Dave's.

You can also just drain higher fat beef during the cooking process, although this works better with crumbled ground beef.0

to the OP - i make asian style chicken burgers that we love (i make a big stack and freeze), and i also make smaller burgers when using beef. I don't usually eat on a bun, sometimes i'll use a whole wheat pita or tortilla or just eat them with cooked veg and salad (no bread)
I'm going to have to try wrapping in lettuce - that sounds pretty awesome0 -
90/10 grass-fed beef with cheese and a fried egg on top
