You don’t have to give up being a fan of grilled at home burgers, to balance your healthy diet. In fact, when you start with Free Graze burgers, you’ve already made an important step toward sourcing natural ingredients and avoiding health concerns by choosing antibiotic and hormone free healthy proteins for your family.
There are some delicious ways you can get creative with your Free Graze burger and add additional nutritional benefit to every meal. Check out five great topping suggestions from our test kitchens, and pair it with your favorite flavor, for a tasty and quick meal idea you can feel good about.
1. Go Greek!
If you love the flavors and seasonings of Greek food, you can elevate your Free Graze burger to next-level tastes, by adding these inspired toppings to make your own Grecian burger at home.
· Thinly sliced red onion
· Fresh spinach
· Savory feta cheese
· Tzatziki sauce
Add these toppings with just a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for a flavor sensation, with or without a bun. We recommend trying this combination with our Free Graze cage-free Turkey patty, or our Organic Grass-Fed classic burger.
2. That’s Amore! Italian Inspired Toppings
It’s always a good time for Italian flavors. With just a dab of pesto and the right ingredients, you can add some healthy antioxidants and additional protein to your Free Graze burger, with this healthy topping combination.
· ½ half teaspoon of pesto (per burger)
· Fresh sliced tomato
· 2-3 fresh basil leaves
· A slice of fresh bocconcini cheese
Level up your Italian burger, by choosing a rich parmesan and herb bun, or between two slices of focaccia bread. We recommend trying this topping combination with our American Style Kobe Burger.
3. Get Your Greens
Anytime is a great time to add healthy grilled vegetables to your Free Graze burger. There are a number of different options to choose from, that work well with rich all-beef flavors. Try some of these options:
· Grilled sweet potato slices
· Grilled radicchio (red Italian cabbage) drizzled with balsamic reduction
· Grilled eggplant (with a small teaspoon of marinara sauce)
· Grilled portobello mushroom
· Grilled cauliflower steaks (try them with a light teriyaki sauce)
When combined with a complimenting seasoning, you can sneak some extra vegetables into your meal, and add a delicious (and nutritious) crunch to your burger. And don’t forget that grilled peppers are the perfect match for any burger (just remember to remove the peel before eating), for extra fiber and an amazing flavor.
If you want the natural sweet flavors of the grilled vegetables to really shine, try any of our topping suggestions with our Free Graze Sweet Onion burger.
4. Get Spicy (If You Dare)
Our Free Graze Grass-Fed Jalapeño burgers, are for adults (although we’ve heard that some kids love them too). Using fresh jalapeño’s mixed in with our premium antibiotic and hormone free all-beef patty, we’ve formulated an incredible flavor that isn’t boring, but it is also not “call the fire department” hot. It strikes a delicious medium note, that is the opposite of boring.
Try our Jalapeño burger with some of these topping suggestions:
· Spicy Monterey Jack cheese
· Grilled hot peppers
· Homemade jalapeño cream sauce. Get some recipe ideas on Yummly.
