Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground elk meat
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 1 Avocado
- 1 Tomato
- 4 slices Pickles
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground elk meat, egg, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Using your hands, gently mix the ingredients until they are just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat mixture.
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1-inch thick.
Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the elk patties on the grill or in the skillet.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (elk is best cooked to medium-rare or medium).
While the patties are cooking, prepare the toppings by slicing the avocado and tomato.
Once cooked, let the patties rest for a couple of minutes.
To assemble the burgers, take two large lettuce leaves per burger and use them as wraps. Place a patty on top, followed by slices of avocado, tomato, and pickles.
Serve immediately and enjoy your keto-friendly, juicy elk burgers!
