BISON BURGERS WITH SPICY AIOLI
© 2014 Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. All rights reserved. Burger and fries are iconic and delicious, but the bun and French fries are problematic for the paleo diet. Give this fast food favorite a complete makeover resulting in a lower-fat, low-carb and nutrient-dense dish. Use lean bison meat for the patty and eliminate carbs with an iceberg lettuce wrap. Serve these burgers with crunchy kale chips instead of calorie and fat-laden French fries.

Steps:
- For the burgers: Heat the coconut oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Cook the onions and garlic, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and cool for 5 minutes.
- Add the bison, tomato paste, cumin, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper to the onion mixture, and stir to combine. Form into four 1-inch-thick burgers. Place the skillet back over high heat, add the burgers and cook until an instant read thermometer registers 160 degrees F, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and rest the burgers for 3 to 5 minutes.
- For the aioli: In a small bowl whisk together the mustard, tomato paste, yolk and garlic. While whisking continually, slowly drizzle in the canola and olive oils, until all the oil is incorporated and the mixture is thick and glossy. Whisk in the lemon juice and season with cayenne pepper and salt.
- Place each patty in a lettuce leaf, then top with tomato slices, shaved red onion and 2 teaspoons of the spicy aioli; wrap the burgers in the lettuce and serve with kale chips.
- Cook's Notes: If you have concerns about salmonella, replace the egg yolk and oils with canola mayonnaise.
CHIPOTLE BISON BURGERS
We love bison as a lean, flavorful alternative to beef. For this burger, we combine smokey chipotles and warming spices in the patties. The gentle kick is tamed by a cooling avocado mash, and the crunch of crispy lettuce and white onion. It results in a hearty, full-flavored burger that's lower in calories than you might think!

Add the patties and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side for medium, putting 1 cheese slice on each burger during the last minute of cooking.

Steps:
- Make three burger patties per pound of ground bison. Coat the burgers, on both sides with olive oil spray to help form a crust; this keeps the juices in the burger. Sprinkle patties with our special High Plains Bison seasoning blend.
- Using a griddle, preheat to 550° F before cooking. We suggest using a laser thermometer to test the temperature. Place the bison burgers on the griddle for 4 minutes on the first side. Flip the burgers and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Check the internal temperature using a food thermometer to make sure the burger is at 135-140° F degrees.
- Finally take the bison burgers off the grill and let them rest for several minutes before eating. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions, sprinkle with salt, and sauté until tender and golden brown, stirring often, about 10 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium and continue to sauté until very tender and well browned, about 15 minutes longer. Add wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cool, cover, and chill.).
- Preheat broiler. Gently mix meat and next 3 ingredients in large bowl. Shape into four 1/2-inch-thick patties. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Sprinkle burgers with salt and pepper; add to skillet. Cook until well browned, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- Open buns and arrange, cut side up, on rimmed baking sheet. Place cheese slices on bun tops. Broil until cheese melts and bottom halves are lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Spread bottom halves with mustard. Top each with a few escarole leaves, then burger. Spoon onions on top pf burgers, dividing equally. Cover with bun tops; press lightly.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use freshly ground bison meat. If you can't find ground bison, you can grind your own using a meat grinder.
- To make sure the burgers are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can cook the burgers until the juices run clear when you cut into them.
- For a more flavorful burger, add your favorite seasonings to the ground bison before cooking. Some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder.
- Serve the burgers on your favorite buns with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles.
Conclusion:
Bison burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are leaner and lower in cholesterol than beef burgers, and they have a unique flavor that many people find appealing. If you are looking for a new and exciting burger to try, give bison burgers a try. You won't be disappointed!
