Burger à La Belle Excuse

For the meat patties, I season my patties well, I do not shy away from salt, mostly because I make almost all my food from scratch, so there is no need to worry about salt content. Also, hamburger meat needs that salt, I also use my seasoning mix, which I have spoken of often. Look HERE on how to make it, it is quick and will last me a week or so for all my meals.

I am quite sure a turkey burger or even lamb burger would be absolutely amazing using the Cream of Balsamic as a glaze.
