A burger recipe roundup would be incomplete without a burger featuring butter. Creamy, salty butter allows you to enjoy the natural flavors of this burger’s seasonings – basil, parsley, cayenne, and tarragon. Though it’s got incredible antioxidant powder, cayenne is a member of the nightshade family, and you may be sensitive to it. Leave it out without sacrificing flavor.

Sometimes it’s actually the vegetables on a burger that complement the beef best. In this case, zucchini makes the perfect bun for your mini beef burgers. Use this avocado mayonnaise recipe when the recipe calls for mayo and you are in the business of being Bulletproof.
Bacon-Wrapped Herb Burger
Whole30 and paleo-approved, this keto burger recipe is simply beautiful in presentation. Garlic, thyme, sage, and green onions add immense flavor to this easy recipe. The bacon keeps the meat from drying out, leaving you with the juiciest burger you’ve ever tasted. Garlic is in the suspect category of the Bulletproof Diet, because it inhibits alpha brain waves and could affect your mood – and depending on where you get it, could be moldy. Choose high-quality garlic and don’t eat it daily.
Turkey Burgers

Introducing an Italian version of the traditional keto burger recipe…this burger’s seasonings make it special. Flavored by pink salt, cumin, oregano, and basil (skip the garlic powder to be Bulletproof), you’re going to love every bite of this Italian-style burger. PS: It’s also made with turkey instead of beef. Pass on the onion to stay Bulletproof and try this keto bun if you’re jonesing for one.
