Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground elk meat, minced garlic, whole grain breadcrumbs, egg white, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the burgers stay tender.

Step 3

Step 4

Preheat a non-stick grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and spray lightly with cooking spray.

Place the elk patties on the grill pan, allowing space between each one for even cooking.

Step 6

Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C), ensuring they are fully cooked but still juicy. Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to prevent loss of moisture.

Remove the patties from the pan and let them rest for a couple of minutes.

Step 8

Lightly toast the whole wheat hamburger buns on the grill pan for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, if desired.

Step 9
