Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Use a spatula or your hands to mix until just combined.
Divide the burger meat into 5-6 oz balls (150-170g). These burgers are pretty large, so depending on the size you will yield about 10-12 burgers. Use a kitchen scale if you have one, or divide and eyeball it.
Form the balls into patties about 3 inches in diameter. They will be quite thick. Press your thumb into the centre of the patties to prevent swelling as they cook. Place patties on a parchment lined baking sheet. If you are preparing them in advance, place the patties in the fridge until ready to cook. Or you can grill immediately.
Preheat your grill (or grill pan or cast iron skillet) to medium heat, about 400ºF. Grill on one side for 3-5 minutes. The burgers will release when they are ready to be flipped. Flip and cook for another 2-4 minutes until desired doneness. Use a probe meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. 130-140ºF: Medium Rare140-150ºF: Medium150-160ºF: Medium Well160-170ºF: Well Done Allow burgers to rest on a plate for a few minutes. Serve on toasted gluten-free buns with your favourite toppings. Enjoy!
- Toppings to try: Sliced tomatoes, red onion, ketchup, mustard, pickles, relish, green leaf or iceberg lettuce, mayonnaise, caramelized onions, cheese, or anything you enjoy on a toasted gluten-free bun.
- Dairy-Free: Use your favourite dairy-free milk in the patties.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the patties and place them on a baking sheet or in a container, cover, and store in the fridge up to 24 hours in advance.
- Storage: Cooked burgers will keep in the fridge for 5 days. Reheat on the stove for a few minutes on each side, in the microwave in 20 second intervals, or in the air fryer for a few minutes until warmed through.
- Freezing: Prepare the patties and flash freeze them on a baking sheet for 10 minutes. Then transfer patties to a freezer bag or container. Freeze for up to 2 months, then thaw overnight in the fridge before grilling.
