Description

Looking for a simple way to spice up your homemade burger repertoire? Bring nutrient density to the plate with savory garlic and herbs, wild game meats, and organ-based seasoning. This family-friendly recipe is sure to be a crowd-pleaser for children and adults alike, and it requires only 1 mixing bowl, an oven, and a few fresh ingredients that you may already have on-hand. 

Ingredients
  • 1 pound venison ground meat (May substitute with 100% grass-fed ground beef, bison, or ancestral blend ground meat)
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 tablespoon Pluck Zesty Garlic seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon cassava flour (optional, but enhances flavor!)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh green onion (scallion)
  • 1-1/2 tablespoon minced fresh parsley (1 tbsp dried parsley works well, too)
  • 1/2 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a cast iron pan with melted ghee, or line a baking
    sheet with non-toxic parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Using your hands, mix ingredients until well
    combined, being mindful not to overwork the meat.

  3. Step 3

    Divide the mixture into 8 even sections, forming each into a round ball and then
    flattening into a burger patty of desired size and thickness.

    This recipe may be divided into 4 servings (rather than 8) if you prefer a quarter- pound burger patty.
  4. Step 4

    Place the 8 patties on the cast iron (or baking sheet) and bake in the oven for 14-15
    minutes, flipping halfway through.

    This recipe also does well shaped into meatballs and served on skewers.
  5. Step 5

    Check that the internal temperature of the meat reaches at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
    Cooking times may vary, so be sure to check internal temp and add more time if necessary.
    Once fully cooked, remove from oven.

  6. Step 6

    Serve warm, open-faced over a thick-cut sweet potato “bun,” sourdough bread, or
    heirloom rice. Garnish with desired toppings, such as microgreens, avocado herb aioli, raw
    cheese, pickled onions, sauerkraut, or more.

    These sliders make for great party/appetizer food when entertaining a large group of guests.
  7. Step 7

    Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

    The mini sliders are a creative dinner idea for young children who like to pick their own burger toppings and get involved in the cooking process.
