Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground venison
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Unsalted breadcrumbs
• 4 whole Lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Tomato, sliced
• 4 pieces Whole grain burger buns

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, add the ground venison, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.

Step 2

Add the chopped parsley, the egg, and unsalted breadcrumbs to the bowl.

Step 3

Using your hands, gently mix the ingredients until they are just combined. Be careful not to overmix as it may lead to tough burgers.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 5

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly brush each side of the patties with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reads 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.

Step 7

Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 8

To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each burger bun, top with a venison patty, followed by a slice of tomato. Cover with the top half of the bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium juicy venison burger!
