Fajita Turkey Burgers

Perhaps you have some leftover turkey meat, or you just can’t get enough of this alternative healthy option. Served with salsa, red bell peppers and a handsome helping of avo this feels more like a health kick than a hamburger indulgence. The hint of coriander is just the finisher this burger needs. For a yummy twist make your own fajita seasoning by simply combining a mixture of chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, and voila!

Epic Crispy Quinoa Burgers Topped with Sweet Potato Fries, Beer Caramelized Onions and Gruyere
|
 |
|
This type of burger us question the very existence of meat. Let’s not debate if this will be “epic” or not! The question is, how impressive is quinoa as a meat replacement and what on earth is gruyere? What’s the big fuss about quinoa? Well, this grain is taking the health world by storm. It’s light, filling and tastes great when paired with some tangy sauce and some bread. We recommend using honey mustard — its sweet and zesty flavor will be sure to make you forget about the fact that you’re not eating a meat. Now for the cheese, Gruyère (pronounced "groo-YAIR") is a smooth-melting type of swiss cheese that's made from whole cow's milk and generally cured for six months or longer. It also happens to be excellent at melting, which is why gruyère is superb on any burger.

Cheeseburger lettuce wraps
|
|
|
|
A flavourful burger topped with cheese, tomato, and a mouth-watering spread is always a winning combo. Wrap it up in a nice piece of lettuce and you won’t even miss the bun. You can use lean ground beef if you want juicy burgers, or be adventurous and smash some beets together, and then mold them into the shape of patties. You can add in some rice or oats for more substance and then cook them over a pan on medium-to-high heat. Your taste buds will be pleasantly surprised.

It’s packed with flavor and is as meaty as any burger on a bun!
