Bison burgers already bring bold, beefy flavor to the table, and this version layers in coconut aminos, garlic, fresh ginger, and turmeric for a savory depth that makes every bite genuinely exciting. The whole thing comes together without a drop of citrus ā no lemon juice, no lime zest, no orange-spiked marinades ā so you can dig in without scanning the ingredient list twice. Coconut aminos do a lot of the heavy lifting here, adding that umami-rich, slightly sweet note that ties the patty seasoning together and doubles as a finishing drizzle at the end. Instead of a bun, crisp butter lettuce leaves wrap each patty in a cool, refreshing layer that pairs beautifully with creamy avocado and thin-sliced cucumber. The thumb-dimple trick and a proper rest after cooking keep the patties juicy rather than tight and dry ā small steps that make a real difference with lean ground bison. It's a clean, satisfying meal that feels a little elevated without requiring much effort at all.

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.
