The Great Organic Blend Burger comes in two varieties, with only three ingredients in each: 100% organic grass-fed beef or organic and humanely raised turkey, both blended with organic mushrooms, and rosemary extract (to preserve freshness). Adding mushrooms makes the burgers super juicy and flavorful, and helps you add more veggies to your plate, too!
It cooks up quickly from frozen, making it a delicious and easy protein option. Just add your favorite toppings and seasonings, wrap with some lettuce, or serve atop some veggies for an easy Whole30 meal.
Whole30 recipe creative Sarah Steffens created this tasty Banh Mi-inspired recipe to complement the burger’s delicious umami flavor. Enjoy!
