When you’re hungry and ready for a filling meal at lunchtime, one of your top options is probably a delicious hamburger with all the fixings. After all, there’s just something super tasty (and really easy!) about grabbing a burger for lunch. But when it comes down to it, traditional hamburgers aren’t a healthy option that any of us should choose for lunch delivery on a daily basis. But if you’re craving that yummy flavor and full belly feeling, what should you do? Believe it or not, there are several satisfying options from which to choose that make the traditional burger quite a bit healthier, while still retaining that delicious taste you crave. Ready to learn more about better burgers? We’ve laid four of our favorites below.
Choosing leaner meats, like salmon, make for a better burger and immediately up the health value of your lunch.

Greek Salmon Burger
One of our favorite flavor alternatives to the full-fat hamburger is this tasty version made with delectable grilled salmon patties! Salmon is a lean protein source that also provides you with lots of Omega-3 fatty acids which can help significantly reduce your risk of heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, depression, and more! Greek yogurt – also a high protein, low fat food – is mixed with freshly diced cucumbers, lemon, and pepper to help hold the patties together on the grill. This tasty burger is served on a fresh ciabatta bun and topped with a simple slice of butter lettuce. It’s so delicious, you’ll be ready to order it again later on in the week.
Peach and Blueberry Turkey Burger
For a vibrant burger flavor combo, a turkey burger infused with yummy fresh fruits is one of our foodie faves. And one of the best is turkey, peaches, and blueberries! While it’s not a mixture you may have considered before, it’s a fresh way to get your burger fix without that heavy feeling that usually accompanies eating a giant burger in the middle of the day. Plus, blueberries and peaches pack lots of antioxidants and extra nutrients into your meal, which helps you hit your daily dietary requirements of more than just protein.
Spinach Veggie Burger
When you’re looking for a great way to incorporate more leafy greens into your diet, this burger is just the ticket! The spinach is mixed with eggs, oregano, dill, and breadcrumbs to build a tasty patty that’s filled with flavor and tons of nutrients to help you power through your afternoon. After it’s grilled, the burger is served with a topping of fresh feta cheese on a whole wheat bun. It might not be the burger you were thinking of, but it’s a delicious way to include some unique flavors into your work week.
Chicken Pesto Burger
In the middle of winter, pesto is a fantastic flavor to mix into your favorite pastas. But did you know it’s also delicious on a chicken burger? Mixed with ground chicken, pesto, parmesan, and garlic, it creates a flavor combination you’re definitely going to love. This particular burger is served as an open-faced sandwich on ciabatta bread and topped with fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced tomatoes, and yummy basil. It’s a great take on your favorite Caprese sandwich.
A Well-Rounded Meal
When you’re looking for a lighter version of your favorite burger for lunch, choosing lean meats or veggie versions of your usual order can be a great place to start. But don’t forget to round out your meal by choosing healthy sides, too! Instead of fries or chips, try some protein packed cottage cheese, fresh fruit or a side salad. Not only will it help you stick to your calorie goals for the day, you’ll help pack more nutritional value into your lunch, leaving a little extra room for dessert at the end of the day!
