Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground bison
- 1 clove Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 buns Whole wheat burger buns
- 4 slices Sliced tomatoes
- 4 leaves Leaf lettuce
- 1 whole Avocado, sliced
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground bison, minced garlic, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and Dijon mustard. Mix lightly with your hands until the ingredients are just combined. Be careful not to overwork the meat as this can make the burgers tough.
Divide the bison mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty slightly larger than the bun you will use, as they will shrink slightly when cooked.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the bison patties to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side, until a nice crust has formed, and then flip to cook another 4-5 minutes on the other side. The burgers should reach an internal temperature of 160°F for medium doneness.
While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the whole wheat burger buns on a separate skillet or in a toaster.
Assemble the burgers by placing a bison patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top each with a slice of tomato, a leaf of lettuce, and a few slices of avocado.
Place the top half of the bun over the stacked ingredients. Serve the bison burgers immediately while still hot and enjoy!
