Healthy Burgers ?

I am a hamburger maniac !

any ideas for healthy burgers ??


also there was a new chain opening up that claims to be healthy burgers used to see the ads in the papers there was one in NYC but I can remember the name oif the chain

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

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.

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

I agree, I just wish they were no soo expensive!

That part definitely sucks

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'm eating at Skys!
=D

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.

93% beef w/ Worcestershire to add back some juicy-ness.

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

or eat your regular hamburger, just less of it, log it, stay within calories, should be fine.

I like veggie burgers though, and morning star is a good brand (spicy black bean)=awesome

YUM YUM AND YUM!

With the added oatmeal... do you just add it like bread crumbs? And I assume it's the instant oats?

Actually if you're looking for a veggie burger, the Morningstar Black Bean Burgers are pretty good if you char them to the point on the order of ground zero at Los Alamos. The biggest problem is to make them "taste" somewhat like beef, they load 'em up with tons of sodium. I think the real thing would be better than licking the Bonneville Salt Flats clean.

Saw it above, Morningstar not Gardenburger.

I have a freezer full of venison, but none of it ground. just doesn't work and dries too easily. all the stuff you would use for ground, I cube for stew, strip for fajitas, etc. like has been said, just fit it into your daily plan. no need to screw with a good beef burger.
