Kangaroo Burgers

Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground kangaroo meat
• 1 small onion, minced
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
• 1/2 bunch fresh thyme
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup bread crumbs, or as needed
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 8 sandwich buns, split
• 8 leaves lettuce
• 8 thick slices tomato

Directions

Mix the kangaroo, onion, caraway seed, thyme, egg, and lemon zest together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. If mixture is too wet and sticky add breadcrumbs. Shape the mixture into 8 balls and flatten.

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook the burgers in the hot oil until the burgers are cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 5 to 7 minutes per side for well done. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Serve the burgers on the split buns with lettuce and tomato.
