Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground elk meat
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 1 Avocado
- 1 Tomato
- 4 slices Pickles
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground elk meat, egg, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Using your hands, gently mix the ingredients until they are just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat mixture.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1-inch thick.
Step 4
Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the elk patties on the grill or in the skillet.
Step 5
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (elk is best cooked to medium-rare or medium).
Step 6
While the patties are cooking, prepare the toppings by slicing the avocado and tomato.
Step 7
Once cooked, let the patties rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 8
To assemble the burgers, take two large lettuce leaves per burger and use them as wraps. Place a patty on top, followed by slices of avocado, tomato, and pickles.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your keto-friendly, juicy elk burgers!
