    Spicy Teryaki Turkey Burger!! Ok, I know it's not beef but you could substitute 93/7

    Take ground meat substance of your choosing and smash in ground (or freshly grated) ginger, minced garlic, crushed red pepper, sriracha and thick teryaki sauce (I make my own but you can use whatever). Becareful with the sauce you don't want to go too crazy or ther burgers won't hold together.

    Form it into patties and let it sit for a little while- I like to let it warm up a little so that it cooks evenly through.

    Fire up your favorite nonstick skillet (add a little cooking spray if it's not as nonstick as it should be). When the pan's hot drop the burgers on- cook through on both sides.

    I like to garnish this little doozy with a grilled pineapple ring and some sliced avacado.

    Personally I forgo the bun but if you're inclined I'd throw this little puppy on a whole grain toasted bun of some sort.


    :drinker:

    Ground sirloin, better than standard ground beef in both fat and taste.

    Many times I find some cheap cuts of steak that is cheaper per pound than ground beef either due to the sell by date or whatever... I snatch these up and put them in the meat grinder attachment on the kitchen aid.

    Try Jennie-O turkey burger (the savory season one). Grill some onions and mushrooms and top the burger with it. Yum!!!

    If you have to have beef use the lean stuff and maybe mix in a some ground turkey to. Homemade turkey burgers can be really really good to!! If you use lean beef add something to put a little moisture in like Worcestershire sauce, squirt of ketchup, steak sauce, mustard, a combination of those. Also grated onion is nice, you get more onion juice out of it than just chopping it. Someone else suggested bison.... I LOVE a good bison burger!! Salsa is a good addition to, or even as a topping. I like to make a simple onion relish. Grilled onions, grilled green onions, salt, pepper, herbs if you like, and a good splash of vinegar. Avocado or guac is good on a buger, also some light cheese if you want. Healthy burgers can be really really good to!!! Good luck!

    It won't be as juicy, but use a leaner ground beef like 93/7

    ^^^This, make your own with 93/7. Find a good low carb 0 fat marinade and it can be as good as you can have outside.

    I agree, a marinade works. I've added minced onion and garlic to my 93/7 ground beef, with a light olive oil vinaigrette and lemon juice marinade. Delish.

    Eat it and burn it afterwards, that's the best way to end up with your craving!:D

    I do a 50/50 with turkey and ground beef. Then throw in some chopped up onions. Its SO good. I actually think the ground turkey tastes better than ground beef. Maybe it holds seasoning better, idk, but it was great!

    If you want one, then have one, it's okay to have things u crave once in awhile, just don't have the fries and soda with it..........
