Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Duck breast, skinless
- 4 pieces Whole wheat burger buns
- 1 large Egg white
- 30 g Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
- 4 tsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
Cut the duck breast into small cubes and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the meat is finely ground, taking care not to over-process.
In a large bowl, combine the ground duck, egg white, panko breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Divide the duck mixture into four equal parts and shape them into burger patties, each approximately 1-inch thick.
Preheat a grill or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly spray with olive oil.
Place the duck patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the whole wheat buns on the grill until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Assemble each burger by spreading 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each bun.
Place a cooked duck patty on top, followed by a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a few slices of red onion.
Cap with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
