    Bison burgers aren't too bad and they taste SOO much better than regular burgers.

    We make turkey burgers all the time. Just use ground turkey, grated carrots and zucchini mixed in with lots of spices. In the winter we cook them on a grill and in the summer the BBQ.

    Soy-free veggie burgers (typically with portabella mushrooms as an ingredient to give it a "beefy" feel) are amazing.

    Google "Jamie Oliver Crackin Burger"

    On Flax rolls with avocado they are only about 380cals a pop!

    I take 99% fat free ground chicken and add grated onion to keep them moist and juicy.
    Depending on what kind of mood I am in I'll add a package of frozen chopped spinach (defrosted and squeezed of excess liquid), finely chopped mushrooms and oatmeal. For Mexican burgers I'll add bell peppers, onion, cilantro and a little fajita seasoning or Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime. Indian burgers cialntro, hot chili peppers and the onion with Indian spices (which if you aren't Indian like me and have all the spices at the ready you can go to the Indian market and can get a box mix of spices for making kebabs and it will work perfectly).

    I have a bunch of vegetarian recipes and one of my faves is Guy Fieri's recipe (you can find it on the Foodnetwok page) he made the recipe for his sister.

    And that place in NYC I think you are thinking about might be Good Health Burger.

    turkey burger!
    make um with mushrooms to keep them moist
    add flavor enhancers like hot sauce, jalapeno's, onion, garlic, cheese, bread crumbs, or whatever you might want. and then add it together with your ground turkey meat with an egg or two egg whites.

    I love Bison burgers too! Now I want to go to Ted's...

    If you want to make a burger at home you can cut your ground beef with ground turkey. It's good and lower in cals!

    Jenny O ground turkey that I season with mrs dash, salt free tony's and diced fresh jalapenos, I use Sargento reduced sodium pepper jack cheese and all the veggies you want. I eat them on oro wheat multi-grain sandwich thins. I also make alexia chipotle sweet potato fries. I usually eat 1 1/2 servings of the fries. There are 30 fries in a serving. The total meal is about 545 calories and that includes burger and fries. Compare that to a resturant burger which is almost 1000 cals for just the burger alone.

    I make zucchini turkey burgers and use grated zucchini and a cup of oatmeal. This way you can get at least 5 burgers out of a pound instead of the usual four.

    Look at the calories and macros for the burger you would love to eat. Plan ahead and fit it into your day. Viola, now it's a healthy burger.

    venison (deer). Not sure you can get this in a store. We kill our own and process it. Maybe you should take up hunting.
