Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground bison, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Using your hands, mix ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the meat, as this can result in tough burgers.
Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty approximately 3/4 inch thick.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the bison patties into the skillet or onto the grill.
Cook the patties for approximately 3-4 minutes on the first side, then flip them gently.
Place a slice of cheese on each patty, cover the pan with a lid, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the patties from the heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Meanwhile, split and toast the whole-grain burger buns to your liking.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked bison patty with melted cheese.
Top each patty with slices of tomato, red onion, and pickles.
Finish by placing the top half of the bun on each burger. Serve immediately and enjoy your high-protein juicy bison burger!
