Hazelnut Free Coconut Aminos Bison Burger
Bison burgers already bring a rich, slightly sweet depth that sets them apart from everyday beef, and this version layers in garlic, fresh ginger, turmeric, and coconut aminos for a patty that tastes genuinely complex without a long ingredient list. The coconut aminos pull double duty ā mixed right into the meat and optionally drizzled on top ā adding a savory, umami-forward note that makes you forget you ever needed a bottle of soy sauce. Wrapping everything in crisp butter lettuce keeps things light and fresh, while creamy avocado and cool cucumber slices round out each bite with texture and brightness. Because every ingredient here is naturally free from tree nut concerns, there's no label-scanning or substitution gymnastics required ā just straightforward, clean cooking. The cast iron sear is key: letting the patties cook undisturbed builds that deep brown crust that locks in all the juices before a quick rest finishes the job. It's the kind of weeknight dinner that feels a little special without actually being fussy.

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.
