General Burger Base Recipe
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
Ingredients:
- 32 oz Ground Meat (or canned fish)
- 3 Eggs (or 6 Egg Whites)
