Ingredients

• 1 lb ground bison
• 0.25 cup almond meal
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp onion powder
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4 whole lettuce leaves
• 1 sliced tomato
• 0.5 sliced red onion
• 4 whole brioche buns

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground bison, almond meal, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Mix gently with your hands or a spatula until the ingredients are well incorporated. Do not over-mix as this can result in a tougher burger.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty that is slightly larger than the buns, as they will shrink slightly during cooking.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, gently place the patties into the skillet.

Step 5

Cook the burgers for 4-5 minutes on the first side or until a rich brown crust has developed.

Step 6

Flip the burgers and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side or until the internal temperature reads 160°F for a medium burger.

Step 7

Remove the burgers from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by the bison patty, then sliced tomato, sliced red onion, and finally topping with the other half of the bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite sides such as sweet potato fries or a fresh green salad.
