Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground pork
• 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 4 pieces Whole wheat buns
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
• 1 piece Tomato, sliced
• 1 piece Avocado, sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, onion, garlic, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet.

Step 4

Cook each patty for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and the outside is browned and caramelized.

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, lightly butter the inside of each whole wheat bun with unsalted butter.

Step 6

Toast the buns on a separate skillet or in a toaster until golden brown.

Step 7

Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the skillet and allow them to rest for a few minutes.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with fresh spinach leaves, a slice of tomato, and slices of avocado.

Step 9

Place the top half of the bun over the toppings and serve immediately. Enjoy your low sodium savory pork burger!
