Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground duck meat
- 2 medium Shallots, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 cups Baby spinach leaves
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 slices Aged cheddar cheese, sliced
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
- 4 pieces Low-carb burger buns
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground duck meat, finely chopped shallots, minced garlic, chopped fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until well combined.
Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent shrinkage while cooking.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the duck patties to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are nicely browned.
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of aged cheddar cheese on each patty to allow it to melt.
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
In a separate small skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the spinach leaves and sauté just until wilted, about 2 minutes.
To assemble the burgers, take a low-carb burger bun and layer with baby spinach leaves, a slice of avocado, a duck burger patty, and thin red onion slices.
Place the top bun on the assembled ingredients and serve immediately.
