Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground venison
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Unsalted breadcrumbs
- 4 whole Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
- 4 pieces Whole grain burger buns
Instructions
In a large bowl, add the ground venison, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
Add the chopped parsley, the egg, and unsalted breadcrumbs to the bowl.
Using your hands, gently mix the ingredients until they are just combined. Be careful not to overmix as it may lead to tough burgers.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly brush each side of the patties with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reads 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.
Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes to retain their juices.
To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each burger bun, top with a venison patty, followed by a slice of tomato. Cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium juicy venison burger!
