This recipe includes stuffing the burgers with feta cheese and topping with lettuce, tomato, and red onion. Include your favorite keto condiments at your discretion!Jessica L.
Start by removing the casing from links of ground italian sausage (the original recipe here uses 2 links of sausage). Reform the ground meat into patties and flatten them on a clean surface. Place about ½ oz of crumbled feta cheese in the center of each patty.
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Reform the meat patties around the feta cheese and flatten into the hot pan. Cook the burgers for approx. 4-5 minutes per side for a well done burger. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning (the burgers will get a dark char on both sides).
For serving, arrange a ¼ oz of chopped lettuce on a plate per burger. Arrange a burger on top of the lettuce and top off with ½ oz tomato slice and ¼ oz thin-sliced red onion rings.
