Burger

Lion’s head meatballs are traditionally stewed or steamed in a casserole dish; here they star in the sandwich of my childhood dreams.

These 10-ingredient gluten-free homemade veggie burgers are crisped up like a smash burger in the oven. 

These chicken burgers are grilled and finished with gooey Muenster, stacked, and topped with shredded lettuce, sweet pickles, and curry mustard.

This is my version of a veggie burger—using the meatiness of seared clusters of maitake mushrooms gives an additional layer of umami with a miso glaze.

These shortcut Egyptian-style falafels are made with frozen edamame and peas instead of the traditional fava beans. Sear them to make the most crunchy surface and pair them with buttery brioche burger buns.

Fresh salmon makes these ginger and scallion-laced burgers luscious and flavorful. Pile them high with peppery watercress, crunchy cucumber quick pickles, fragrant mint, and cilantro.

These veggie patties are streamlined enough for a weeknight dinner, packed with protein, and deeply savory thanks to mushrooms and mellow white miso.

These creamy black-eyed pea patties are flavored with mushroom, miso, tamari, and Scotch bonnet chiles. They’re finished off with a sweet-and-tangy barbecue sauce and a spoonful of chowchow.

Who needs beef? When you combine chicken with shredded veggies and a tangy Greek yogurt sauce, you get a burger as thick and juicy as any other.

These turkey burgers are my nod to the Mediterranean, packed with fresh herbs, lemon, and red onion.

Served on a bun or pita, this sweet potato and grilled cheese burger will lighten up your summer barbecue.

A healthy take on a classic diner burger

Asparagus ribbons, sliced sugar snap peas, and red onion tossed in lemon juice are the perfect springtime toppers for these smoky-spiced lamb burgers.

These pork burgers—inspired by Southeast Asian dumplings—are an ideal weeknight meal. The sweet and spicy mayo acts as both a dressing for the slaw and a sauce for the burger.
