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.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon coconut oil
1/2 cup minced onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb ground bison meat
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon tomato paste
1 large egg yolk
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
cayenne pepper
sea salt
4 leaves iceberg lettuce
2 small tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch rounds
1/8 small red onion, shaved

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.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my burgers didn't turn out as good as I expected. They were a bit too dry and the spicy aioli was too spicy.

I would have liked the burgers to be a bit more flavorful, but they were still good. I think next time I'll add some extra seasonings to the meat.

I used ground beef instead of bison and they still turned out great. The spicy aioli is a must-try.
