Ultimate Venison Burgers

Ingredients:
- 500g ground venison
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 burger buns
- Fresh arugula or lettuce, for serving
- Tomato slices, for serving
- Cheese slices (optional), for topping
- Condiments of choice (ketchup, mustard, etc.)
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground venison, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are well combined, taking care not to overwork the meat.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center of each burger to prevent puffing during cooking.
- Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat. If grilling, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Cook the burgers for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness. If you’re adding cheese, place a slice on top of each burger in the last minute of cooking to melt.
- During the last few minutes, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
- Assemble your burgers by placing the cooked venison patty on the bottom bun, followed by fresh arugula, tomato slices, and your favorite condiments. Top with the other half of the bun.
- Serve immediately and enjoy every bite of these delicious venison burgers!
