Who among us hasn’t been burned by a dry turkey burger before? (Or chicken, or pork, or even beef, that time whoever was in charge of shopping went down a dark path and bought the 98% lean mix.) I had an especially dismal one just recently at the burger joint across the street from my apartment. Fool me, I don’t know, a hundred times?

At its best, the veggie burger is more than just a meat alternative—it’s an opportunity to celebrate the flavors of vegetables, grains, and legumes in a convenient, delicious way (between two buns, covered in sauce). Of course, the veggie patty has range, too. A savvy addition to any salad, substantial enough to qualify as an afternoon snack, and just generally delicious, these meatless wonders rightfully belong at any meal. In hopes of celebrating—and perhaps spreading awareness—of the culinary genius behind the veggie burger, we’ve compiled our seven favorite recipes below.

1. Miso Veggie Burgers

According to recipe developer Rick Martinez, miso gives this burger a “really deep, caramel-y, umami flavor. That’s going to basically simulate a burger being seared over an open fire on a grill and being smashed.” Even better—Rick says you can find all of the ingredients at your average grocery store.

When I was tasked with writing about Food52’s most popular burger recipe, I thought I knew what to expect. At the very least, there’d be beef involved, right? Nope. As it turns out, our most popular burger recipe is a veggie burger—and a non-traditional one at that. Specifically, the honor goes to Shake Shack’s ’Shroom Burger, a longtime vegetarian offering from the chain that defies and stretches our understanding of what a burger can be.

Few things taste like summer more than biting into a freshly grilled, fully loaded, burger. The bun is buttery, the toppings are piled high (unless you're more of a minimalistic burger connoisseur and keep things simple or plain), and you know you'll be going back for seconds.

If you're typically the one enjoying the burgers and never behind the grill, you might wonder how the mouthwatering backyard dinner staples come to be. It's not magic or a skill that has to be passed down through generations—anyone can make a truly excellent burger with the right tools.

To make the ideal burger bar, you need to nail two things: burgers and toppings. Lucky for us, our new Resident, Five Marys—a Northern California livestock farm run by Mary and Brian Heffernan—is an expert on both. Not only does Five Marys produce exceptionally consistent, grass-fed, dry-aged beef, but they also run their own, burger-forward restaurant, Five Marys Burgerhouse. In the most recent episode of their new series, Raised On The Ranch, Mary shares her blueprint for the ultimate burger bar—here are four of her best tips.

1. Source Quality Beef

According to Mary, much of the impetus for starting Five Marys Farm came from her and Brian’s pursuit of truly great burger meat. “What motivated us was actually the quest to find the perfect ground beef,” she says. Years later, they’re producing it themselves. Five Marys ground beef is grass-fed and dry-aged, giving it a deep and complex flavor, making it perfect for your next burger night or barbecue. If you’re planning to grill out in the near future, we recommend ordering some Five Marys beef online. However, if you’re in need of burgers at this very moment, the butcher at your local grocery store should be able to steer you towards another beef of similarly high quality.
