Ingredients

• 1 pound ground venison
• 0.25 cup onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 slices sliced cheese of choice (optional)
• 8 large leaves lettuce leaves
• 1 sliced tomato
• 0.5 small sliced red onion
• 4 slices dill pickles (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground venison, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix the ingredients thoroughly but gently to avoid overworking the meat.

Step 2

Divide the venison mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty approximately 3/4-inch thick. Use your thumb to make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the venison patties to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, without moving them, until a crust forms.

Step 4

Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.

Step 5

Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute.

Step 6

To assemble, place a cooked venison patty in between two large lettuce leaves. Add a slice of tomato, red onion, and dill pickle as desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb, juicy venison burger!
