Bison burgers already bring bold, beefy flavor to the table, and this version layers in garlic, fresh ginger, turmeric, and coconut aminos for a patty that tastes anything but plain. Coconut aminos steps in as the savory, umami-rich backbone here ā and unlike many conventional condiments and sauces, it's naturally free of the thickeners and additives that people avoiding carrageenan often have to hunt labels to dodge. The whole build stays clean and ingredient-transparent from start to finish. Butter lettuce leaves stand in for buns, wrapping everything in a crisp, cool double layer that actually holds together better than you'd expect. Sliced avocado and thin rounds of English cucumber add creaminess and crunch, while an optional extra drizzle of coconut aminos ties it all together. Cooking the patties in a cast iron skillet with coconut oil gives you that deep, caramelized crust without needing anything processed or packaged. It's the kind of meal that feels indulgent but is built entirely from real, whole ingredients you can trust.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground bison, 2 tbsp coconut aminos, garlic, ginger, turmeric, salt, and parsley. Mix gently with your hands until just combined ā do not overwork the meat. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick, pressing a shallow dimple into the center of each with your thumb to prevent puffing during cooking. Refrigerate the patties for 15 minutes.
Heat the coconut oil in a large (12-inch) cast iron skillet or heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering and just beginning to smoke.
