Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 pieces Whole wheat buns
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 piece Tomato, sliced
- 1 piece Avocado, sliced
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, onion, garlic, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet.
Cook each patty for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and the outside is browned and caramelized.
While the patties are cooking, lightly butter the inside of each whole wheat bun with unsalted butter.
Toast the buns on a separate skillet or in a toaster until golden brown.
Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the skillet and allow them to rest for a few minutes.
Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with fresh spinach leaves, a slice of tomato, and slices of avocado.
Place the top half of the bun over the toppings and serve immediately. Enjoy your low sodium savory pork burger!
