Take any ground meat and season it with whatever you like: maybe soy, mustard, onions, garlic and parsley, or maybe ginger, garlic, miso, or cilantro. Making burgers is fun and opens a great many doors to a variety of flavors. Turkey, pork, lamb, venison, beef, salmon, nuts and seeds…all lend themselves to being the bases for tasty burgers. If the meat is really fresh it will bind up on its own, but if it’s been thawed from frozen, you ought to add an egg to it. Breadcrumbs, cooked rice, beans, or even tofu are also nice fillers for burgers. When kneading your mixture together, you want to achieve a consistency that is firm and not too sticky – easy to form into balls or burgers. If you score a bunch of inexpensive ground meat, make it into tons of burgers and freeze them as mentioned above. They will make for quick, inexpensive, and easy meals.
