Chowhound: 15 Best Seasonings For Burgers
Chowhound's latest feature, 15 Best Seasonings For Burgers, offers expert insights on elevating your burger game. Chef David Figueroa, President and Co-Founder of Melinda's Foods, shares his go-to seasoning blend for turkey burgers: kosher salt, black pepper, cumin, and fresh parsley. For an extra kick, he recommends adding a spoonful of Melinda's Green Sauce, which combines cilantro, jalapeño, spinach, and lime to infuse moisture and heat. Chef Figueroa also suggests enhancing salmon burgers with a mix of sea salt, white pepper, dill, parsley or tarragon, lemon zest, and a pinch of cayenne. These tips, along with other seasoning ideas, can help transform your homemade burgers into gourmet delights.
