Hamburgers – How did they come to be?
Many myths surround “America’s favorite food”. A lot of people have claimed to be the first to place a beef patty between two slices of white bread; the truth, however, is that we do not know the original creator of the hamburger.
The Art of Cookery made Plain and Easy by Hannah Glasse in 1758 included the “Hamburg sausage” and suggested that it should be served with toasted bread under it.
There is also a belief that the hamburger was first eaten in Hamburg, Germany. Even though the inspiration is believed to have come from Hamburg, the hamburger was, in fact, created much later.
During the 19th century, Hamburg became popular for its beef from countryside cows. Hamburg beef was commonly chopped into bits, molded into patties, seasoned, and, as there was no available method of preservation, cooked immediately. Eventually, Hamburg beef became a substitute for other beef varieties.
When German immigrants arrived in America and established their restaurants, an Americanized version of the Hamburg steak was a regular feature on the menu.
To prepare the Hamburg steak:
First, tenderize a piece of steak to break the fiber. Then, fry two or three finely minced onions in butter until lightly browned. Spread your onions over the tenderized meat and fold the ends together. Tenderize the meat and onions together, keeping the onions in the middle. Grill for about three minutes, then spread with butter, salt, and pepper.

Seasoning your premade turkey burger
There are several ingredients you can use to season your premade turkey burger.
Spices: mix your spices together, then sprinkle a bit of the mixture on your patty and allow it to cook. You have to add your spices carefully, or else it might get too tasty.
For your special seasoning, I would suggest cinnamon, which adds an exotic taste to your burger, or garam marsala, which adds heat and flavor. Aside from these ingredients, get creative and try whatever spices you want.
Vegetables: To make your burger extra flavorful and nutritious with vegetables, simply cook your vegetables in a pan after your burger has been grilled.
Tomatoes, onions, peppers, and mushrooms are vegetables you should include when preparing your frozen turkey burger.
Sauces: There are several sauces to choose from, including store-bought or homemade barbecue sauce, steak sauce, or hot pepper sauce. What about those leftover browned bits of burger in your cooking pan? No need for it go to waste –you can make your sauce from that as well!
Just pour your sauce over the burger either before or after cooking.
It all depends on you!
Herbs: Dry or fresh herbs can be used when preparing your frozen turkey burger. However, I would advise you to use dry herbs. Fresh herbs have moisture in them that steams the burger and, therefore, will not give you a brown crust.
To season with herbs, simply add your herbs to your mayonnaise mixture, and then spread on the bread or bun.
For your selection, I would recommend trying basil, lemon thyme, oregano, or rosemary.
There is so much you can do with your turkey burger. Give your kids something to look forward to after school; make them some burgers!
Of course, there are a lot of burgers out there, and I’m sure you’ve been wanting to try your hand at one. Why not make a simple creamy and delicious frozen turkey burger? Try this recipe, and I guarantee that paying for a burger at a restaurant will become unthinkable.
