Prepare the Elk Patties

Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1 inch thick.

Form Patties

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Cook the Patties

During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt.

Melt the Cheese

On the bottom half of each burger bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the elk patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
