Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground duck breast
- 60 grams Whole-wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg white
- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup Baby spinach, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 pieces Whole-grain buns
- 1 large Avocado, sliced

Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground duck breast with whole-wheat breadcrumbs, egg white, red onion, baby spinach, garlic, fresh thyme, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix gently using your hands or a spatula until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the burgers tender.
Step 2
Shape the mixture into 4 equal patties, about 1-inch thick each.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the duck patties to the skillet.
Step 4
Cook the duck patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the patties are well browned on the outside.
Step 5
While the patties are cooking, slice the whole-grain buns and toast them lightly on a separate pan or in a toaster.
Step 6
Assemble the burger by placing the cooked duck patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with avocado slices, tomato slices, and a handful of arugula.
Step 7
Cover with the top bun, serve immediately, and enjoy your heart-healthy savory duck burger!
