“America’s Test Kitchen,” the cooking show filmed just outside of Boston, returns this Saturday with a twist on the all-American classic: burgers. No, not just your standard beef patties, but something a little more… unexpected. “Unexpected Burgers,” airing on PBS, features a blend of mushroom and beef, turkey patty melts, and even a taste test of oat milk.

Test cook Lan Lam teams up with host Julia Collin Davison to create the Mushroom-Beef Blended Burgers. These aren’t your average veggie burgers; they aim to deliver the best of both worlds, combining the savory depth of mushrooms with the familiar satisfaction of beef. Meanwhile, test cook Antoinette Johnson and host Bridget Lancaster tackle Turkey Patty Melts. If you’re looking to lighten things up without sacrificing flavor, this could be your new go-to burger night recipe.

And because no episode of “America’s Test Kitchen” is complete without a rigorous taste test, tasting expert Jack Bishop puts various oat milks through their paces. Whether you’re a dairy-free devotee or just curious about the plant-based milk scene, this segment should offer some useful intel.
