⅓CChopped Onion - More if you like, less if not, or leave out; onions do add lots of flavor & texture!
½inchCooking Oil - I use avocado oil, but use what you want
Customize with seasonings:
I add Italian, garlic powder, and salt & pepper
I love this poultry seasoning which I keep in the freezer to help it stay fresh. I use it in crockpot meals, soups, on roasted vegetables, etc. -->Poultry Seasoning
1 t of liquid smoke: I rarely use this, but it stays good a long time -->Liquid Smoke
Instructions
Place a large skillet over medium high heat. Add about a half inch of oil.
Grab a bowl, dump in all ingredients, and mix well with your hands.
The consistency will be pretty thin, but don't worry. The 4 juicy patties come together perfectly!
Flatten and smooth the mixture in the bowl and stamp out on top 4 equal size patties.
Scoop out with your hands, form patty, carefully place in skillet.
Leave them alone! Seriously…just leave them be for several minutes. After 5 minutes or so, lift up the first one you put in and see if it's nice and brown. If not, leave them alone! If it is, carefully flip them over.
If you flip too soon, they will fall apart (still tasty, but not pretty).
Same thing for this side…leave the patties alone! They should be brown and caramelized on both sides. YUM!
When a thermometer says 165 &/or juices are running out clear, they're done.
Eat however you like…bun or no bun, lettuce, mayo, in a wrap…up to you!
