Lettuce Wrap Burgers

INGREDIENTS:

Ground beef or your choice of ground protein (such as turkey or chicken)

Onion slices

Pickles

Cheese slices (optional)

Condiments of your choice (such as ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise)

Salt and pepper to taste

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

While the patties are cooking, thoroughly wash and dry your lettuce leaves. These will serve as your burger “buns.”

Once the patties are cooked to perfection, assemble your lettuce wrap burgers by placing a cooked patty on a lettuce leaf.

Top each patty with tomato slices, onion slices, pickles, cheese (if desired), and your favorite condiments …
