Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground elk meat
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Dried parsley
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 large Avocado
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground elk meat, egg, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley.
Mix the ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix as this can make the burgers tough.
Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each part into a patty, about 1 inch thick.
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties on the pan, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned.
Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Meanwhile, prepare your toppings: slice the tomato and avocado.
Remove the patties from the pan and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve each patty over a lettuce leaf, topping with sliced tomato, avocado, and any other preferred condiments.
Wrap the lettuce around the burger and enjoy your low-carb juicy elk burger!
