Juicy, well-seasoned beef patties cradled in cool butter lettuce leaves — this is the kind of meal that proves you don't need a bun to have a seriously satisfying burger. The patties are packed with garlic, ginger, oregano, thyme, and turmeric, giving every bite a warm, layered depth that feels anything but plain. Coconut oil in the skillet helps build that deeply browned crust, while a quick two-ingredient sauce made from coconut aminos and apple cider vinegar adds a bright, savory finish. Toppings like creamy avocado, earthy roasted beet, and thinly sliced red onion turn each wrap into something genuinely craveable. For anyone navigating the autoimmune protocol, burgers can feel like an off-limits comfort food — no nightshades, no grains, no dairy, no eggs — but this recipe threads that needle beautifully using only compliant whole-food ingredients. The butter lettuce cups hold everything together surprisingly well, and the whole thing comes together in one skillet with minimal cleanup. Makes four generous servings, so it's just as good for a weeknight dinner as it is for meal-prepping lunches.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, grated ginger, dried oregano, dried thyme, ground turmeric, and salt. Mix with your hands until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the meat, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Press a shallow dimple into the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly without puffing up.
