These simple burgers get a flavorful kick from jalapeño and sautéed mushrooms. They’re a little messy to pick up in buns, but don’t let that stop you! Of course, they’re also good served on balsamic-dressed salad greens and eaten with a knife and fork.

Ingredients
- 2 jalapeño peppers seeded and diced
- 1 shallot finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons low-sodium Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound ground bison
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 4 slices low-fat provolone cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 pound cremini mushrooms sliced
- 1/4 cup dry red wine
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together peppers, shallot, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Add bison, gently mix with your hands, and form into four patties.
- Heat canola oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place patties in skillet, cover, and cook for 3–5 minutes. Flip patties, cover skillet, and cook for an additional 3–5 minutes. Top each burger with a slice of provolone cheese, cover skillet, and cook until cheese has melted, about 30 seconds. Remove from pan.
- While burgers cook, heat a separate skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil; when hot, stir in mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Stir in red wine, increase heat to medium-high, and cook until most of the wine has burned off, 2–4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in thyme, along with salt and pepper, if desired.
- Place burgers on serving plates and top with mushrooms.
