Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground elk meat
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 4 large leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 medium Avocado
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground elk meat with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until all ingredients are just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about ¾ inch thick.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil. Once the oil is hot, add the elk patties.
Cook the elk burgers for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms. Flip the burgers and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until they reach desired doneness.
While the burgers are cooking, prepare the toppings: slice the tomato and red onion, and peel and slice the avocado.
To assemble the burgers, place each burger patty in a large lettuce leaf. Top with slices of tomato, onion, and avocado.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, paleo-friendly elk burgers!
