Grass-Fed Cherry Burgers

Grass-Fed Cherry Burgers

Adding organic cherries kicks up the flavor in these savory-sweet burgers and guards against free radical damage too. In fact, adding cherries to ground meat prior to cooking reduced cancer-causing heterocyclic amines (HCAs) by up to 78%. Now that's how you build a better burger!

Preparation

First, finely chop cherries and drain.
Place ground beef in a large bowl and gently mix in cherries, garlic, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper until combined. Do not over-work the meat.
Divide into equal portions and form into 1/2-inch-thick patties. We suggest using a Flavorwave for cooking (this will further reduce the formation of HCAs noted above). Cook in the Flavorwave at 400 F for 10 minutes. Alternatively, grill or broil 5 to 6 minutes per side.
Serve.
