Juicy, herb-scented beef patties wrapped in crisp butter lettuce with a creamy avocado spread — this is burger night done right, and it happens to check every box for those following a strict elimination-style protocol. The autoimmune protocol cuts out grains, legumes, nightshades, eggs, dairy, and a long list of spices, which makes a satisfying burger feel nearly impossible. This one pulls it off beautifully. Coconut aminos stand in for soy-based sauces to add that savory depth, while rosemary, garlic, turmeric, and ginger bring bold, layered flavor without any off-limits ingredients. The avocado spread — mashed with fresh lemon juice and parsley — is rich and bright, doing everything a slice of cheese or a dollop of mayo would normally do. Butter lettuce wraps keep the whole thing sturdy and fresh, so you get the full burger experience without a bun in sight. This recipe makes four generous servings, so it's just as good for a weeknight family dinner as it is for meal-prepping lunches you'll actually look forward to eating.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, rosemary, turmeric, ginger, salt, and coconut aminos. Mix with your hands until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the meat, about 30 seconds — stop as soon as the mixture is uniform to avoid overworking.
Divide the mixture into 4 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 doming.
