Ingredients
- 1 lb ground venison
- 1 small onion

- 3 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper

Instructions
Peel and finely chop the small onion.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground venison, chopped onion, minced garlic, and freshly chopped parsley.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and add it to the venison mixture.
Add coconut aminos, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mixture.
Mix all ingredients gently by hand until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the mixture.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, around 1 inch thick.
In a large skillet, heat the ghee over medium-high heat.
Once the ghee is hot, add the venison patties to the skillet.

Remove the patties from the skillet and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the juicy venison burgers on a bed of lettuce or wrapped in collard greens for a true Whole30 experience.
