Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground elk meat
  • 2 tablespoons ghee or butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Vegetable oil or additional butter, for cooking

Instructions

  • Step 1 – In a large bowl, mix the ground elk meat with ghee or butter. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, oregano, turmeric, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to distribute the seasonings evenly.
  • Step 2 – Shape the seasoned meat into evenly sized patties, about ¾ inch thick, to ensure they cook uniformly.
  • Step 3 – Refrigerate the patties for at least 15 minutes to help the fat solidify, aiding them in holding their shape during cooking.
  • Step 4 – Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a small amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking.
  • Step 5 – Place the patties on the grill or skillet, cooking for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness. Aim for medium-rare to medium to keep the burgers juicy.
  • Step 6 – Once cooked to your liking, remove the patties from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
