Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground duck meat
• 2 medium Shallots, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Fresh thyme leaves, chopped
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 cups Baby spinach leaves
• 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
• 4 slices Aged cheddar cheese, sliced
• 1 medium Avocado, sliced
• 4 pieces Low-carb burger buns

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the ground duck meat, finely chopped shallots, minced garlic, chopped fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until well combined.

Step 2

Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent shrinkage while cooking.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the duck patties to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are nicely browned.

Step 5

During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of aged cheddar cheese on each patty to allow it to melt.

Step 6

Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.

Step 7

In a separate small skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the spinach leaves and sauté just until wilted, about 2 minutes.

Step 8

To assemble the burgers, take a low-carb burger bun and layer with baby spinach leaves, a slice of avocado, a duck burger patty, and thin red onion slices.

Step 9

Place the top bun on the assembled ingredients and serve immediately.
