BISON BURGERS WITH SPICY AIOLI

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.

GRILLED BISON BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Mix bison, Panko crumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic, and pepper together by hand in a bowl; form into 4 patties. Place patties on baking sheet, cover with aluminum foil, and refrigerate until chilled, about 15 minutes.
• Spray the patties with cooking spray and grill until hot and slightly pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. Top each burger with a slice of cheese; continue cooking until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
• Sandwich burgers between bun halves.

AIR FRYER BISON BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine ground bison, onion, egg, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Form into 4 equal-sized patties.
• Carefully place in the bottom of the preheated air fryer and set the timer for 8 minutes. Open air fryer, carefully turn the patties, and continue frying until juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes more. Place each patty on a bun.

BISON BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat a griddle to medium-high. Make 4 equal-size hamburger patties from the ground bison meat, taking care not to overwork the patties.
• Season both sides of each patty with 1/4 teaspoon of Ted's Special Spice Mixture, and place on griddle. Cover the burgers with a stainless steel bowl or other heat-proof, dome-shape object, and cook for 6 minutes. Turn the burgers over, and season the top of each burger again with 1/4 teaspoon of the spice mixture. Cover with the dome and continue to cook for 4 to 5 minutes, for medium.
• Place 2 cheese slices on each burger and cook until the cheese melts. Butter the cut side of the rolls and place, cut side down, on the griddle. Cook until lightly toasted. Serve each burger on a roll with 1 lettuce leaf and 1 tomato slice per burger.
