Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground duck breast
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (sub with coconut aminos for gluten free or paleo)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoon coconut oil (or other cooking oil of choice)

Instructions

  • Place all the ingredients, except the coconut oil, in a bowl and stir them together to combine.
  • Form the duck mixture into 4 even sized patties, making a thumb print in the middle of each patty.
  • Place a frying pan on the stove on medium-high heat and allow the coconut oil to melt. Once the oil is melted, cook the burgers for 3-5 minutes per side, until cooked through.

Notes

  1. To make these burgers gluten-free or paleo, use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. 
  2. These burgers store well in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  3. Nutritional values are an estimate and will vary depending on the exact ingredients used.
