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!

Steps:
- Halve and pit the avocado, then scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the lime juice, cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon cumin and a big pinch of salt. Mash and stir until well combined; set aside.
- Combine the bison, chipotles, remaining 3/4 teaspoon cumin, the oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl; mix well. Form into 4 patties, about 4 1/2 inches wide and 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. 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.
- Serve the burgers on the buns with ketchup, the avocado mixture, shredded lettuce, sliced onion and cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips and the lime wedges.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality bison meat: Look for bison meat that is grass-fed and free-range. This will ensure that the meat is flavorful and nutritious.
- Grind the bison meat yourself: If possible, grind the bison meat yourself. This will give you more control over the texture of the burgers.
- Use a light touch when mixing the burger ingredients: Overmixing the ingredients can make the burgers tough. Mix them just until they are combined.
- Form the burgers gently: Handle the burger patties gently to avoid compacting the meat. This will help them stay juicy.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat: Cooking the burgers over medium heat will help them cook evenly without drying them out.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness: The USDA recommends cooking ground bison to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for medium-rare, 165°F (74°C) for medium, and 170°F (77°C) for well-done.
- Serve the burgers immediately: Bison burgers are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help them stay juicy and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Bison burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are lower in fat and calories than beef burgers, and they are also a good source of protein, iron, and zinc. If you are looking for a new and exciting burger recipe, give these bison burgers a try. You won't be disappointed!
