Serving a variety of buns, patties, and hamburger toppings is a great way to elevate the classic summer party meal or busy takeout dinner into something extra special. Choose from the list of burger toppings below to add variety to every burger night.
Over a medium-hot grill cook the patties, turning at least once until they reach an internal temperature of 145 for salmon; 160 degrees for beef, lamb, pork, and plant-based burgers; 165 for turkey or chicken patties. Keep the patties warm.
