If you want to cut down on beef the heart association has a great recipe for burgers.
1/4 pound 80/20 beef, 1/4 course ground turkey and 1/2 pound finely chopped portobello mushrooms. Combine divide in 1/3 patties. I make ahead so flavor melds together. Grill.
You can always start with 1/2 beef for the recipe and cut back down the road. If you add too much turkey it will be a dry burger. Sometimes I add chopped cherries. Soy based products are not always a good fit for some.
The small amount of beef flavors the patties. To give another layer of flavor grill in a pan with a dab of bacon grease. It’s a southern thing to keep a can on your stove.
