A hamburger (or simply burger) is an American sandwich that consists of a cooked patty of ground meat that is fried, steamed, grilled, broiled, barbequed, seared or deep fried and is generally served with various garnish or condiments like ketchup, mustard, mayonaise, lettuce, tomato, onion, relish and cheese toppings, placed inside a sliced bun, often baked specially for this purpose, or pieces of bread or toast. The meat patty is beef, unless otherwise noted.

Here are two easy and healthy recipes for your next breakfast or brunch get-together. Using ground turkey for your sausage takes nothing away from the flavor, but lowers the overall fat and calories. The frittata can be "tweaked" to fit undividual preferences. Both recipes are from the Peanut Butter and Julie recipe site.

Opt for grilled, broiled or steamed entre'es over fried. Chicken, turkey and fish are leaner than ground beef. Say no to special sauces, cheese, mayonnaise and bacon; they'll pack on the calories, fat and cholesterol.
