Perfect Bison Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl combine bison, Worcestershire and the jelly and then form into 4 patties.
• Heat an oiled grill pan or grill to medium heat.
• Grill burger for 3-5 minutes. Flip and top with cheese and then continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes or until done.
• Place burger on bottom bun and top with tomato and other condiments; top with top bun.

Steps:

• Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Form each portion loosely into a 3/4-inch-thick burger and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb. Season both sides of each burger with salt and pepper.
• IF USING A GRILL: Heat a gas grill to high or heat coals in a charcoal grill until they glow bright orange and ash over. Brush the burgers with the oil. Grill the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes for beef and 5 minutes for turkey. Flip over the burgers. Cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare (3 minutes if topping with cheese; see step 3) or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Cook turkey burgers until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes on the second side.
• IF USING A GRILL PAN: Heat a grill pan over high heat on top of the stove. Cook the burgers as for a grill, above.
• IF USING A SAUTE PAN OR GRIDDLE (PREFERABLY CAST IRON): Heat the oil in the pan or griddle over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Cook the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes for beef and 5 minutes for turkey. Flip over the burgers. Cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare (3 minutes if topping with cheese) or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Cook turkey burgers until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes on the second side.
• Add the cheese, if using, to the tops of the burgers during the last minute of cooking and top with a basting cover, close the grill cover, or tent the burgers with aluminum foil to melt the cheese.
• Sandwich the hot burgers between the buns and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Prepare a hot grill.
• Season meat with salt and pepper; form the meat into 6 patties, being careful not to overhandle.
• Place the patties on the grill rack 3-4 inches over direct heat and grill, turning once, about 2 minutes per side for med/rare.
• Spread each bun half with 1 teaspoon butter; place the buns, buttered side down, on the grill rack and toast briefly.
• Assemble the burgers with toasted buns, patties, lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise.

Steps:

• Make three burger patties per pound of ground bison. Coat the burgers, on both sides with olive oil spray to help form a crust; this keeps the juices in the burger. Sprinkle patties with our special High Plains Bison seasoning blend.
• Using a griddle, preheat to 550° F before cooking. We suggest using a laser thermometer to test the temperature. Place the bison burgers on the griddle for 4 minutes on the first side. Flip the burgers and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Check the internal temperature using a food thermometer to make sure the burger is at 135-140° F degrees.
• Finally take the bison burgers off the grill and let them rest for several minutes before eating. Enjoy!
