Servings: 4

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground venison
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Olive oil (for grilling or frying)
  • Lettuce leaves (for serving)
  • Optional toppings: sliced cheese, avocado, tomato, onion, pickles, mustard, or mayonnaise

Instructions:

  1. Mix Ingredients:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground venison, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
  2. Form Patties:
    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
  3. Preheat Cooking Surface:
    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook the Burgers:
    Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (internal temperature should reach 160°F/70°C).
  5. Serve:
    Once cooked, remove the burgers from the heat. Serve on lettuce leaves as a bun alternative, topped with your choice of optional toppings.
