Now that your starting to be curious and eat to cater to your thyroid. Don’t feel you have to totally give up on foods you love. Cooking actually isn’t very hard. You can put together some simple meals very easily — often in less time than it takes to get take-out food, and definitely in less time than it takes to go out to eat. If you learn to cook yourself, you can have control of the ingredients, and once you get the hang of it, it often tastes a lot better, too!
Healthy food doesn’t have to be boring!
It is definitely a struggle to switch your eating habits, and takes time to find new ways to spice up healthy foods-but it’s not impossible. There are so many foods out there that can kick your craving for the ‘unhealthy’ foods.
Processed foods and sugar influence our taste buds and when you stop eating those things on a regular basis, other foods actually start to taste better.
Be creative and experiment!
Recipe
| Herb Burgers | Italian Spice Burgers | Onion & Garlic Burgers |
| 1 lb. ground beef or bison or ground turkey | 1 lb. ground beef or bison or ground turkey | 1 lb. ground beef or bison or ground turkey |
| 1/2 tsp. sea salt | 1/2 tsp. sea salt | 1/2 tsp. sea salt |
| 1/2 tsp. dried rosemary | 1/2 tsp. dried oregano | 1/4 cup finely diced fresh onion |
| 1/2 tsp. dried sage | 1/2 tsp. dried minced garlic | 1/2 Tbsp. minced fresh garlic |
| 1/2 tsp. dried thyme | 1/4 tsp. dried basil |
Directions
- If you have a kitchen-aid mixer, you can use it at low speed, to blend the spices into the meat. Otherwise, put all of the ingredients in a large bowl and blend with your hands.
- Shape into 3 or 4 patties, depending on how big you like your burgers. (This recipe also doubles very easily.) If you have time to let them sit for 30 minutes before cooking, they’ll be even more flavorful.
- You can cook these in a skillet over medium heat (5-8 minutes per side), or on a gas grill over medium heat (3-5 minutes per side). If you cook them on the grill, just be sure to preheat your grill, and poke a small hole in the center of each patty to ensure they cook evenly (no raw centers). You’ll notice I did that in the top photo.
- You can also freeze the patties, to cook later.
Extra Flavor Options:
- You can also top your burgers with lots of flavorful condiments! Everything from ketchup, red onion, tomato to guacamole to BBQ sauce.
