Summertime is burger time, but really, isn’t it always burger time when that craving hits? We just think about them more during warm weather because they’re so portable and cook quickly on a grill or grill pan. These are the best burgers we’re loving right now.
And as with so many recipes, you can substitute the ground meat in question. Don’t have beef? Try turkey or chicken but know it’ll cook faster. Have a pound of ground pork you’re meaning to use up? Mix it in with turkey or beef. It’s great to use what you have on hand to be thrifty, but sometimes necessity is truly the mother of invention. You might create a brand new favorite.
Meal Prep Turkey Burgers with Crispy Fries
Turkey makes for a great burger, and we find that it’s a great replacement for beef if you don’t have it or can’t afford it at the moment. It’s also a little bit lighter of a taste that works well for meal prep. These are served with homemade oven fries.

Juicy Ground Chicken Burgers
Ground chicken is a lighter substitute for beef in these classic burgers seasoned with parsley, bread crumbs, minced onions and garlic, and mayo. So good.

Spinach Feta Turkey Burgers with Lemon Dill
Consider these Greek burgers and that tells you everything you need to know. Lemon and dill keep the flavors bright. Spinach and feta are a classic pairing. We love them with rice, couscous, and even cauliflower rice as a meal prep. But burger buns work fine, too.

There’s something so perfect about earthy and slightly sweet black beans with the sweetness of sweet potatoes. This homemade burger tastes so much better than most of what you can buy in the freezer section at the grocery store and they’re easy to do.

Green Goddess Burger
We think you’ll wanna put this parsley yogurt sauce on everything you grill this summer. Seriously, it’s that good. And it’s a great way to use up fresh herbs. Top it with some chunky avocado that’s not quite guacamole, but close. So good.
