Summertime is burger time, but really, isn’t it always burger time when that craving hits? We just think about them more during warm weather because they’re so portable and cook quickly on a grill or grill pan. These are the best burgers we’re loving right now.
And as with so many recipes, you can substitute the ground meat in question. Don’t have beef? Try turkey or chicken but know it’ll cook faster. Have a pound of ground pork you’re meaning to use up? Mix it in with turkey or beef. It’s great to use what you have on hand to be thrifty, but sometimes necessity is truly the mother of invention. You might create a brand new favorite.
Turkey makes for a great burger, and we find that it’s a great replacement for beef if you don’t have it or can’t afford it at the moment. It’s also a little bit lighter of a taste that works well for meal prep. These are served with homemade oven fries.
Ground chicken is a lighter substitute for beef in these classic burgers seasoned with parsley, bread crumbs, minced onions and garlic, and mayo. So good.
Consider these Greek burgers and that tells you everything you need to know. Lemon and dill keep the flavors bright. Spinach and feta are a classic pairing. We love them with rice, couscous, and even cauliflower rice as a meal prep. But burger buns work fine, too.
If you love white beans, you will love these white bean burgers. They’re seasoned well, they’re freezer friendly, and they’re really flavorful.
It’s not quite a burger, but a deconstructed version of the famous Shake Shack burger, done copycat style. We love how you can toss those fries right into the mix, along with the pickles. No shame in this burger bowl game!
There’s something about lemon and dill as a perfect sauce for all kinds of burgers. Dill and lemon are ideal complements to these tasty salmon burgers.
This copycat recipe is one of the most beloved recipes on our website. It’s delicious, it’s easy, and it’s such a spot on rendition—right down to the sauce.
There’s something so perfect about earthy and slightly sweet black beans with the sweetness of sweet potatoes. This homemade burger tastes so much better than most of what you can buy in the freezer section at the grocery store and they’re easy to do.
We think you’ll wanna put this parsley yogurt sauce on everything you grill this summer. Seriously, it’s that good. And it’s a great way to use up fresh herbs. Top it with some chunky avocado that’s not quite guacamole, but close. So good.
