The Best Healthy Burger Recipes

Grill it up

Our healthy burgers—made with fresh salmon, lean beef, turkey, and lentils—are perfect for a go-to summer meal.

Ground Sirloin Sliders

These mini burgers have amazing flavor, and you get two for less than 300 calories.

Ingredients: Miniature buns or dinner rolls, lean ground sirloin, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, olive oil cooking spray, extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, small dill pickle slices

Calories: 283

Ingredients:
  • 12 miniature buns or dinner rolls
  • 3/4 pound lean ground sirloin
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tea spoonblack pepper
  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • 2 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
  • 24 small dill pickle slices
Preparation:
1. Remove some of the fluffy center from the buns so that they will sit well on top of burgers; set aside.
2. Combine sirloin with Worcestershire and pepper, and form into 12 (2-inch) flat patties.
3. Preheat a lightly oiled grill pan over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Cook burgers over moderate heat, turning, and evenly top with cheese, about 2 minutes per side for medium or until cheese is melted. (Use a meat thermometer to check that burgers have reached 160°.) Transfer the burgers to a plate, and grill the buns, cut sides down, 1-2 minutes or until toasted.
4. Sandwich burgers between buns with about 2 pickles per slider.

Caramelized Onion–Veggie Burger

Who needs meat when these are just as tasty? The mushroom and lentil patty with cool and creamy goat cheese is a perfect summer match. An added bonus: They are packed with fiber.
