What kind of burger?

[Bigboy727]

In Minnesota it’s tough to grill outside in the winter. My buddies were arguing about what kind of burgers they cook. One does classic and he said Turkey burger 93/7 is complete crap. He said only 96 ground beef. Mark does powerlifting and said turkey is fine. I never really looked into to that hard. Wondering what percent you guys eat and kind?

80/20 is best for a good burger. 96 is waay too lean. It'll be dry. Turkey burgers can be okay but they're typically dry too because they're difficult to cook... They get overcooked and dry.

There is nothing wrong with either one though, but if you're trying to get the best tasting classic burger you would never go above 90%.

I like the grass-fed 80/20. My favorite though is to buy 5lb of beef brisket and 5lb of chuck roast and have the butcher grind it up into 10- 1lb packs. It’s the best burger combo I’ve had!

Well, I actually don’t make burgers. I don’t eat much bread at all (try not to). I grind it up and add buffalo sauce, zucchini, tomatoes, and cottage cheese. It may sound weird to the ear but it’s absolutely my favorite meal of all. I watch my fat intake when trying to get to sub 10% unless it’s Almonds or Avocado. 80% is way to high for me to sleep at night! My buddy says 93% is still to fatty is where this argument steamed from and just wondering if anyone is this strict. I won’t eat anything under 90% but love turkey burger. Maybe I’m just taking it to the extreme.. lol.

Best fucking answer right here.

I like doing 90% lean in a pan with Kerrygolds butter or Ghee. Or on the grill in a big oval like salsberry steak. And usual a dash of garlic, salt, and pepper as I form the burger. But if I'm making a really nice burger it's not getting salt or pepper till it gets flipped and this will usually be with Dry-aged trim or Kobe burgers.
Ground turkey is best reserved for Tacos or Bolognese sauce.

Had sonic last night for the first time. Def prefer their dessert. Sonic blast over their burgers.

If you don't overcook turkey burgers they are fine and add some breadcrumbs and a bit of egg and mix. This way they come out fine on the grill.

You can have your turkey loaf... I'm good.

7oz of turkey burger with buffalo sauce, half a cup of brown rice, and zucchini. I warm it up and put 2-3 oz of cottage cheese and some diced tomatoes in it. How gains are made during I sleep!
