Mix all ingredients by hand and then form into small patties. Use a cup measuring cup to size how much meat to use when forming your patties.

3
Place meat on tinfoil and press gently with your thumb creating a small indent in the center. This will help keep patties from shrinking when cooking.Pre-heat the barbecue to high temperature.I recommend leaving the elk burgers on the tinfoil while cooking on the BBQ. The elk meat is very lean and can have the tendency to dry out if overcooked. Cooking on tinfoil reduces the risk of overcooking.Cook 7 minutes or until brown and then flip patties. Continue cooking on other side until brown 7 minutes.
