Moose burgers are a hearty alternative to traditional beef, offering a rich and slightly gamey flavor. Here's a simple recipe for tasty moose burgers.


Moose Burgers

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds ground moose meat

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs

  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 4-6 hamburger buns

  • Optional toppings: cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayo

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or set your stovetop griddle to a similar setting.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground moose meat, minced garlic, chopped onion, beaten egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix the ingredients until evenly distributed, being careful not to overmix as this can make the patties tough.

  3. Divide the mixture into 4 to 6 equal portions, depending on the size of burgers you prefer. Shape each portion into a patty that's about 3/4 inch thick. Make a small dimple in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly and prevent bulging.

  4. Place the patties on the preheated grill or griddle and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium. If adding cheese, place it on the patties during the last minute of cooking.

  5. Remove the moose burgers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making for a juicier burger.

  6. While the burgers are resting, you can toast the hamburger buns on the grill if desired.

  7. Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a bun base, then layering your choice of toppings and condiments on top, finishing with the top half of the bun.

Serve the moose burgers with a side of your choice, like roasted potatoes, salad, or coleslaw, and enjoy this robust take on a classic favorite.
