Do the ingredients surprise you? I was planning on making kabobs but couldn't find my skewers. It morphed into a burger recipe instead!

Did you know elk fits into the category of venison? It's true!

– Defrost elk meat, if frozen. Add to a medium-sized bowl, along with all the spices, minced parsley, and onion.

— Add a slice of cheddar cheese and cook one minute longer.

Because of the unique ingredients in this recipe, I don't recommend the usual ketchup and mustard with these elk burgers.

Instead, I would pick from the following: mayonnaise, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and pickles.
