Bison burgers already bring a leaner, richer depth of flavor than your average beef patty, and this version takes things even further with coconut aminos, fresh ginger, garlic, and a touch of turmeric worked right into the meat. The result is a juicy, deeply savory patty with a gorgeous sear from the cast iron skillet and a warmly spiced interior that feels anything but ordinary. Lupin flour and lupin-based fillers have quietly crept into a surprising number of burger blends, seasonings, and condiments, so building everything from scratch here means you stay in full control of what goes into the mix. Butter lettuce stands in for a bun, wrapping each patty in crisp, cool layers that contrast beautifully with the hot, caramelized crust. Creamy avocado and thin-sliced cucumber add freshness and texture, while an optional drizzle of coconut aminos ties the whole thing together. It's the kind of meal that feels indulgent and clean at the same time — impressive enough for guests, easy enough for a weeknight.

Ingredients

4 servings

For the patties

1 ½ lb ground bison
2 tbsp coconut aminos
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
½ tsp turmeric
½ tsp fine sea salt
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

For cooking

1 tbsp coconut oil

For serving

8 large butter lettuce leaves
1 avocado, sliced
½ english cucumber, thinly sliced
1 tbsp coconut aminos, for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

1
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 — 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.
2
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.
