Healthier Burger alternatives. (bean, salmon?)

Anyone have any recipes they love for a burger, other than using beef?

Looking for ideas.
TIA!

Healthier Burger alternatives. (bean, salmon?)

I make a chicken ranch burger with just an envelope of ranch dressing mix and one package ground chicken. DS loves them, eats them without ketchup.

I also make a salmon burger with cooked salmon, bread crumbs, lemon zest/juice, basil, one egg, maybe a squirt of ketchup. I form the patties and sprinkle with old bay. I let them sit in the fridge for 10 mins to form, then pan fry in a little evoo.

Check out rachel ray, she's the self proclaimed burger queen.

I've made turkey taco burgers w a package of taco mix.

I used to make DS cheddar cheese and spinach meatballs, I'm sure you could turn that into a burger. I also made ones with petite diced tomatoes and mozzarella cheese.

lamb chop meat salt pepper oregano and olive oil.. when you make the patty,make a dent withyour thumb in the middle and stuff a little feta cheese inside. bake in oven ( i bbq them) they go SOOOOOOOOO fast at my bbqs. ppl love them.

I love chicken burgers too- and I am not a fan of turkey burgers.
We use the 97 or 99% lean purdue ground chicken
Let me find the recipes we use.

ETA- I just searched for it and I had posted it a while back.
Here is the thread with the recipe.

I loooooove lamb burgers (although have never made them)

Those chicken burgers sound good (I too don't like turkey, I always use lean ground chicken)


Keep them coming! Trying to add some new grilling recipes, especially when craving burgers.

I love turkey burgers and you can make them the way you would with any chicken recipe or even beef.

Skinnytaste actually has a shrimp burger that my coworker made and said was amazing.
