Smoky Bison Burger

Smoky Bison Burger

Bison (aka buffalo) meat is one of the healthiest proteins around. It has more Omega-3 fatty acids than even salmon and it's lower in fat and cholesterol than boneless, skinless chicken breast. The best part? It's absolutely delicious. Topped with a smoky sauce and dill pickles, this burger is a taste of the American West. Serve pinto beans, cheesy corn casserole or steak-cut fries alongside.

In a large skillet, add reserved olive oil and heat until smoking over medium-high heat.

Keeping the skillet warm, brush the buns with olive oil and toast on either side for about 10 to 15 seconds.
