EVA’S ELK BURGERS

Ready for the easiest, mouth-watering wild game burger recipe?! THIS IS IT. I’ve been making this recipe forever with elk, moose and venison meat and they are soo good, y’all! So go take some ground out of the freezer and listen up!

You’ll need:

• 1 pound ground elk (or any wild game you like – moose works great too!)
• ½ cup panko bread crumbs
• 3 tablespoons hickory-flavored barbeque sauce, plus more for basting
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• Canola oil, for the grill
• Sliced cheese (whatever variety you like; optional)
• Buns or lettuce leaves, for serving

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, place the meat, bread crumbs, barbeque sauce, parsley, horseradish, egg, garlic, salt, and pepper and gently combine with your hands. Do not overmix.
2. Shape the meat into 1-inch-thick patties. Press your thumb into the middle of each patty so that the outside edges are thicker than the center. This will ensure even cooking.
3. Preheat a barbecue or grill pan to high heat. Brush the grates with oil.
4. Grill the burgers for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until cooked through. Do not press the patties with a spatula—it will dry them out! Baste each burger with barbecue sauce during the final 2 minutes of grilling. Top each burger with a slice of cheese (if using).
5. Serve on buns with your favorite toppings. I enjoy mine on lettuce leaves for a low-carb option.

ENJOY!! 🤤
