4 Servings

Difficulty Level: Easy

Notes:

* use lean cuts of meat and add rice / sweet potato etc. to turn this into a post workout dish

* if intending to make these for breakfast, use fattier cuts of meat

* can be a great protein source for a salad

* Ideal for any meat: ground chicken, turkey, beef, bison, or even canned tuna work extremely well

* Listed servings are (2) 4oz patties each, but you can easily adjust based on your macro requirements

* Also works well for ‘meatloaf’ – just transfer to a meatloaf pan rather than portioning out patties.

* This recipe uses the oven to cook the burgers, but obviously you can cook them on the grill as well – just make sure the burger mix holds together well enough that it won’t fall apart during cooking.

* See below for various flavor additions
