Ground bison is a naturally lean, deeply flavorful protein, and when you work in coconut aminos, garlic, fresh ginger, and turmeric, the result is a burger patty that tastes far more complex than the short ingredient list suggests. Coconut aminos steps in as the savory, umami-rich stand-in for soy sauce ā no wheat, no soy, just that satisfying depth that makes you wonder why you ever needed the original. Instead of a bun, crisp butter lettuce leaves do double duty as a wrap, keeping everything fresh and light while making the whole build naturally free of wheat without any awkward substitutions. Creamy avocado and cool cucumber slices add texture and richness that balance the warm, spiced patty beautifully. Cooking in a cast iron skillet with coconut oil gives the outside a serious sear ā that deep brown crust is where a lot of the flavor lives, so don't rush the flip. A final drizzle of coconut aminos ties the whole thing together with a little extra savory punch. It's the kind of meal that feels indulgent and clean at the same time, which is a rare and genuinely exciting combination.

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.
