Burger Perfection.

 

There was a time when a burger was a patty of meat slapped between two sides of a bun. Not anymore. Using different kinds of meats, seasonings, toppings and breads, you can master the art of burger making.

 

 

 

• Make your meat matter. Don’t just limit yourself to ground chuck or sirloin, consider poultry, fish, pork and lamb for a change. Try combining meats like lamb and beef or pork and veal for a tender delicious combo.
• Go bold with seasoning. Burgers can take on lots of different personalities depending on how you season them. For an earthy mellow taste, season with fresh herbs. Add spices like cumin and chili powder to go for a Mexican theme. Try this Mexican Turkey Burger seasoned like your favorite fajitas and you’ll see. Citrus zest mixed with ground seafood or poultry patties add a refreshing surprise. Our Smoked Cheddar Chicken Burger has BBQ sauce mixed in for a twist.
• Take it from the Top. Don’t have time to season up your ground meat? Let your toppings do the talking. Combine ingredients that marry well visually and taste great together. Try unusual cheeses, California Ripe Olives, grilled or pickled vegetable rather than the typical lettuce tomato combo. Creamy goat cheese does this trick on our California Turkey Burger.
• Keep your burger well-bred. Toasted sesame seed or onion rolls may do the trick, but pita bread, foccacia or lavash wraps will definitely make your dinner more unique. This Lettuce Wrapped Lamb Burger-- weighing in a few calories less than most-- will surely make you see the light.
